30th December, 2008: Round Georges, Brighton, East Sussex. Just Dave and me at this one, although the set was so well received that we've been invited back to play an extended set in March 2009


24th January, 2009: Dyke Tavern, Brighton, East Sussex. Dave wasn't around, so it was just me and Tracey. Also playing were The Flaming Czars & John Zonn


6th February, 2009: Hove Folk Club, The Eclipse, Hove, East Sussex. This time Tracey wasn't available, so Dave and I played to a wildly appreciative crowd at the excellent monthly club, run by the legendary Robb Johnson. There are loads of snaps from this, and indeed many other of our gigs, on The Richwoods blogsite


3rd March, 2009: Round Georges, Brighton, East Sussex. All 3 of us at this one, delivering 2 short, sharp sets to a small but perfectly formed audience


28th March, 2009 Night of The Vambo at The Komedia, Brighton. It would've been all 3 of us playing this one, but alas some anti-social fuckwit tried to hoof Tracey's front door in, so just me and Dave did the honours.


31st March, 2009: 6Bells Folk and Blues Club, Chiddingly. Another Tracey-less set in this excellent long established club, in a fantastic pub in the absolute arse end of nowhere.


1st May, 2009: Hove Folk Club, The Eclipse, Hove, East Sussex. This time Tracey was available, so all 3 of us belted out two well received mini-sets to a great crowd. And I won a tin of hummus in the raffle. Yes, you read that right, a tin.


20th Oct, 2009: The Woolpack, Burgess Hill, West Sussex. Following a bit of a lay off over the summer, the Dan'n'Dave Richwoods configuration pitched up for the opening night of The Woolpack Folk club

12th Dec, 2009: ...and a mere 3 days later the 3 Richwoods were on hand to bash out a short, sharp set at my 40th birthday party. Note how Dave appears to be blending into the background.
