Manx blues ace Davy Knowles says he's looking forward to a busy 2013 - a new album to release, getting back out on the road touring, and even some gigs in the Isle of Man.
He's taken a break from recording in Yorkshire to pop back to the Island and catch up with family and friends.
It also gave him the opportunity to perform at a fundraising gig for Katherine Crowe at The Bay pub in Port Erin, where Manx Radio caught up with him:
