  Well, didn't it go well!! Many, many thanks to all who joined us on the 27th September 2025 at to Sarah and Ian at the beautiful CUPPA in Felixstowe for hosting us. This gig was a long time in the making. Back in January 2024, John and Phil got together, excitedly, to plan a gig, originally visualised as John Halsey & Phil Jackson 'With Cake'. John actually got this thought whilst wondering how to get people to the gig. He remembered once seeing a band in Australia called 'With Beer'. a genius idea. Obviously people knew what they were getting! The promise of beer! Hence 'With Cake'... The promise. The idea was that John wanted people to hear some of the actual recordings from the album within the gig.

Yes, hello! It's me, the 'Admiral' John Halsey! Well, my blog page at least. Thank you all for dropping by to see little ole me. You're very kind. Hello Wom lovers, Patto & Lou Reed drumming enthusiasts... Maybe you're here because you frequented a pub I ran? I am here because - along with a couple of my mates, Phil Jackson & Ken Thornton, I've made a whole album. That came out of nowhere. I mean, why did we make it?! Because we could. We started something we couldn't stop. It's out on the 1st September 2025 on CD. You can follow all my links here - Admiral Halsey Links I'm also putting together some laidback armchair gigs, a drum, a story, a little sing song... you may even get to ask me something. Good lord! Or maybe you just want to touch the hem of my gown! The first live performance is at the beautiful coffee shop 'CUPPA' in Felixstowe Suffolk. Tickets are available here -   TICKETS It's a small space, so get your tickets now...
