Happy place. It's been a tricky time, but I'm BACK to fill your ears with colour, if you want that, whatever it is. Belfast Leeds London Manchester Edinburgh Sheffield Stockton-on-Tees Leamington Spa Cardiff Lincoln Guildford Malvern and other towns this autumn

I PLAYED! No safer place for my first post-surgery performance than Thomas Leeb's Acoustic Bootcamp on the mountain. Thank you beautiful guitar weirdos of Bootcamp Austria '26, I am so proud to be one of you

Another unvarnished home practice video. I wrote Waterfall at my friend Amrit's mum's house. I noticed a picture on her wall, a goddess playing a sitar-like instrument at the bottom of a waterfall. I learned it was Saraswati, and wrote this song for her. The lyrics are an instructional manual

Last call for tix for my Big Raffle: Win cool stuff e.g. this unique guitar. Everyone who's entered so far, your generosity is 💥🤍 Physio is still relentless but I'm playing guitar every day for longer periods. The FULL & COMPLETE RECOVERY the surgeon spoke of is starting to feel real...

Try this one! It's when one hand is Vulcan & the other is Westside that it might hurt your brain. (The solution? Stop using your brain)

I'd never usually post this, but as I'm still out of action (for another month or so)... I found some rehearsal videos I made to review where I was at after a break. So they're a a bit rough, but real. I'll post some more if people seem able to tolerate the jagged edges

2026 Bootcamp artwork is go! Meet Woolly Nelson BTW we've had one space open up at this year's camp (August 26-30), get in touch via jongomm dot com I actually don't think sheep make great guitarists honestly. Just a bit "meh"

Somebody sent me a poem which cheered me up so much I printed it out and stuck it on my studio wall

THANK YOU everyone who's entered the raffle so far! It's the best thing that's happened to me/my family for months. Here's a closer look at that prototype Ibanez JGM10 and its gorgeous custom Hiscox Pro II+ case you could win. Raffle tix at jongomm dot com

Folks, buy tickets. If you've never heard @jongomm playing his acoustic guitar then go and seek him out. He's undoubtedly one of the best. He's recovering from a recent accident where he broke his elbow. Artists like Jon should be cherished and helped. So go and buy raffle tix!!

Keeping my fingers in shape while my elbow unbreaks itself. Anyone got any more hand/wrist/finger drills?

The story of my stage fall. Full video: jongomm.com/blog/broken It was hard to talk about it, but honestly I'm getting more movement back every day and I'm doing ok. Don't worry.

My last gig ended with a snapped elbow. Now I'm deep into rehab, and this tour is the distant light I'm fighting towards every day. And dreaming about. TBH I won't care if I'm the only person in the venue. But if you'd like to be there for my unleashing, that would lovely too

Any ideas for stuff I can do while I'm out of action? I need a project (music related obvs)

Surgery went well. The end of my humerus is now screwed back into place. Photo from before the anaesthetic was fully worn off, with nurse/literal-angel Sheryl Pain will wear off soon, then BRING ON THE PHYSIO. Gonna keep posting updates, the support from everyone is keeping the darkness at bay

Having surgery on my elbow today. Keep thinking of my 6 year old self learning his first chords. Wish me luck.

Oops. As a reward for bravely falling off the stage in Setubal, I received an intra-articular displaced capitellum (mashed elbow) Tonight's show Fafe is postponed, I'll update about other shows ASAP I'm staying positive but TBH I'm pretty scared right now

These lyrics feel apt right now. I'll be playing it at my shows this week in Portugal 🇵🇹, come see me The Weather Machine from my album Don't Panic. Get the guitar tab jongomm.com/guitar-tabs

The intro shredding and bell chimes from my new single Shchedryk (Carol Of The Bells). The acoustic guitar has an orchestra inside it if you look deep enough Stocking-stuffing Shchedryk Guitar Tab, Lesson Video, T-shirt & Art Print at jongomm dot com

Shchedryk merch has landed! Before it became Carol Of The Bells, the original lyrics were about the first swallow of spring arriving back in Ukraine. I imagined it flying in a storm. To me the music & image are about resilience in the face of brutality. Get a shirt/art print at jongomm dot com

The intense bridge from Shchedryk. This section is my own addition to the Ukrainian original. I hope it's in keeping. It's cathartic to play, like screaming at the sky. Full vid, stream links, guitar tab/lesson & merch at jongomm dot com
