Sorry for the radio silence! Hope everyone is well and getting back to watching live music after what feels like forever!

Cherry hasn't been gigging as she takes some time out to fulfill her new role as mummy! However, she did perform with Think Floyd twice in Holmfirth at The Picturedrome & The Devil's Arse in Castleton just 5.5 weeks after giving birth plus last November also at Billingham's Forum Theatre. Her backstage passes were reserved for hubby and their new baby daughter, Piper.

Cherry's gigs…

There hasn't been a lot to post on here what with the never ending lockdowns, continued postponed gigs and just the whole of the music industry grinding to a halt it seems. If you follow Cherry on her social media pages, you would have seen back around Easter time that Cherry announced she and her husband were expecting their first baby, so count this as the official announcement!

Cherry gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl on Monday 12 July 2021 weighing 7lb 4oz! Cherry is very well and baby Piper…

Cherry caught up with long time friend and supporter, Goddess of the Airwaves Sue Marchant recently on her new Cambridge 105 radio show. also on her Felixstone Radio show too. Sue played a couple of tracks from Late Night Lock-In live album. You can have a listen back here if you missed it from 12 minutes in on the show broadcast 13 February.

We hope here at CherryJam that you all had a safe and lovely Christmas, as different as it was, it was a weird one for us all in 2020 so let's all pray for a better 2021 with the return of live music being one of the first things on the list to return!

If you didn't catch Cherry and her band's festive Holly Jolly Christmas lockdown music performance, here's a link to view it on her Facebook page!
Remember to keep an eye on the gig page as rescheduled 2020 gigs will be put there in due course, it's still…

Thank you to those of you who watched Max Milligan and Cherry perform their live show a couple of Sundays back where tips and CD orders were gratefully received!

You can watch back here if you missed it.

Some of you may know Cherry has been putting together quite a few 'lockdown vids' for you all, several with her band and also a couple she's put together with old clips and unseen footage too with a couple of tracks from the live album - you can watch them all here on Cherry's YouTube channel and let…

With all their gigs and festivals cancelled/postponed for the foreseeable, Cherry found a way to collaborate with her band while they're all in isolation by putting together a totally raw and rustic live version of their song Western Star with all 5 of them in split screen mode and they enjoyed it so much and the response on social media has been so great, that they have decided to do one a week now which will be released onto Cherry's YouTube and Facebook pages every Sunday!

Enjoy and stay tuned for…

Well you asked and we delivered! After many a request for Cherry to release a live album - here it is in all it's glory and suitably called Late Night Lock In as we're all on lockdown right now! But listening to music is very much allowed so order a copy, close your eyes and pretend you're at a Cherry gig and sing along to crowd favourites such as Man Overboard, Come Back Home, Meet Me At The Station, Time Limits, as well as Cherry's version of Wade In The Water, All You Need and much more! 

Recorded over…

What crazy times we're living through right now i'm sure you'll agree, lots of industries getting hit hard especially the entertainment world and it's just heartbreaking to see all of Cherry's fellow musicians and all the stage managers, sound engineers, venue owners finding themselves unemployed with shows being cancelled or postponed. Of course health is the most valuable thing you can have but it's pretty tough when your income vanishes almost overnight. A word from Cherry -

"I hope you're all staying…

2019 - the end of the 'teens' and it has proved to be a jam packed one for Cherry once again touring to 8 countries, lots of theatre shows up and down the UK and Ireland with Think Floyd and the Johnny Cash Roadshow, festivals in Spain and Poland inbetween renovating her first house and getting married in October! Hello Mrs Taylor!
"As ever I thank each and every one of you for your support this year and if you've been on the Cherry train for the last decade - since Southbound Train - then a MASSIVE THANK…

The last three months have seen Cherry visiting Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Lithuania, Finland, and Russia as part of another jazz tour on the high seas, Poland for two blues festivals with Krissy Matthews (see previous news entry) and more recently, Orkney Isles for Orkney Blues Festival which was a welcome return for Cherry and her band after their last performance there was 9 years ago! It sure has been a whirlwind and throughout all this Cherry has been planning her upcoming wedding which takes place…
