Hi folks, 

Hope you’re all doing ok out there. A couple of nuggets of news to share with you… 

Next Gig 

On Friday 13th November I’ll be playing with my band at Axminster Football Club, featuring Ian Jennings on bass and Garry Kroll on drums. This is the only gig in the diary for the foreseeable, so we’re really excited for this one! Tickets are already selling well and numbers are limited, so if you’d like to join us please book your tickets in advance via my website here 

There will be extensive COVID measures in place including socially distanced tables and table service for drinks. Masks must be worn when moving around the venue but not whilst seated for the show. This is one of the few venues around that can work with all the necessary restrictions in place so we’re really grateful to be able to play here – we hope you can join us! 

New Video 

Tonight we should have been playing at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis to celebrate the ‘Sink or Swim’ album release, so I figured this would be a good time to share with you another video from our recent live session at Momentum Studios instead. Here Ian, Garry and I are giving the track “Something From Nothing” a workout with Josiah J Manning back on Hammond organ and Kris Barras behind the camera. It’s just gone live on YouTube and you can watch it here 

Thanks again to everyone who has been supporting the new album and spreading the word…the feedback has been wonderful and the reviews in the press have been a joy to read! If you’d like to order ‘Sink or Swim’ on CD, vinyl or as a digital download my shop is always open at adamsweetmusic.com/shop 

Take care and I look forward to seeing some of you on the 13th November! 

Adam

Hi folks,  

I hope you’re all keeping well. I’ve got a little bit of gig news for you, starting with the good news… 

First up this Saturday 26th we’re really looking forward to a full band show at the Old Commercial Inn in Bishopsteignton. This has been organised by our friends at the Teignmouth Jazz & Blues Club and last I heard it’s pretty much sold out! But if you’d like to enquire about tickets please call the venue on 01626 775285. This will be a 7:30pm start in the Garden Bar (due to Covid safety measures the indoor bars wont be open)…so if you’re coming it might be an idea to wear something warm! 

Then on Friday 2nd October we’ll be at the Chapel Arts Centre in Bath playing an unplugged band set with Ian on double bass and Garry on percussion. Due to Covid restrictions we cant play our usual full volume electric set here, but we’re very much looking forward to stripping the songs back to their acoustic roots and performing “unplugged” as a band for the first time. Please note the new earlier start time of 7:30pm following the latest government announcements. Tickets are £13 and available in advance only via https://chapelarts.org/events/adam-sweet-band-unplugged/ 

Sadly the rescheduled album launch show at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis on October 23rd is now officially cancelled. Hopefully this won’t come as too much of a surprise but I’m still very sorry it can’t go ahead. With all the restrictions and uncertainty at the moment it’s just not possible to stage the show we wanted to do for you. All ticket holders will be automatically refunded – you don’t need to do anything. We will be looking to reschedule once the theatre has fully re-opened…it’ll happen one day!  

Finally, I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has bought the new album!! The feedback so far has been amazing and I’m so grateful for all your support. You can buy ‘Sink or Swim’ on CD, vinyl and as a digital download direct from my website at adamsweetmusic.com/shop.  

For more info on the two upcoming gigs in Bath and Bishopsteignton please visit adamsweetmusic.com/shows

Thanks again and take care out there.

Huge thanks to everyone who tuned into the 'Sink or Swim' Album Launch Livestream on Facebook last night. 

It was such a pleasure to play with Ian and Garry again and share the album with you in full. 

If you missed the show you can watch it again here!

A very special thanks to Alan West, Dale Hurrell, Katharine Mockett and Kirstin Reynolds for making this possible!

I had to share with you this wonderful review of the 'Sink or Swim' album, written by Greg Hancock at Fatea Magazine. I couldn't ask for a better or more thoughtful review!

Many of the songs and arrangements have all the usual and expected elements of familiar blues-rock, but Sweet always manages to add something surprising and different to the work, making this one of the most enjoyable recordings I've come across this year.

Hi folks, 

To mark the upcoming release of the 'Sink or Swim' album we recently went back to Momentum Studios and filmed some live versions of a couple of the album tracks. It was so good to get back in the studio and play together and great to team up with Josiah J Manning on Hammond organ again too. The first video from this session is 'Trouble', and it’s available to watch now! 

Watch it on YouTube here. If you haven’t done so already please subscribe to the channel.

Just one week to go now until the album is released next Friday 11th September, and to celebrate we’ll be streaming a full band show at 8pm that night on my Facebook page! We hope you can join us…

Thanks again to everyone who has pre-ordered their copies of ‘Sink or Swim’ on CD and vinyl…they’ll be in the post next week! If you’d still like to pre-order you can do so at adamsweetmusic.com/shop 

Thanks for keeping in touch and for all the support – it’s very much appreciated!! 

All the best,

Hi folks, 

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet recently...it's been a while but I’m very glad to say I’ve got some good news to share with you! 

First up, this Friday 31st July I’ll be getting the band together for our first attempt at a full-band livestream. A few days ago we met up for a rehearsal for the first time since February and had so much fun we thought we’d play again this Friday. So this time we’re setting up outdoors and inviting you to join us for an hour at 7pm (BST) on my Facebook page as we try and blow away the last of those lockdown cobwebs! 

Secondly, I’m delighted to say the new release date for the ‘Sink or Swim’ album has finally been confirmed! It will be out on CD, Vinyl and all major digital platforms on 11th September!! 

AND you can now pre-order the album on CD and Vinyl – just head to my website to get your orders in! 

I hope you’re all keeping well out there. After all the setbacks this year it feels good to be sharing some positive news with you again…more to come soon I hope. 

Keep in touch and hope you can tune in on Facebook tomorrow (Friday) at 7pm. 

All the best, 

Adam
