The cultural landmark that is @100clublondon.bsky.social, deffo a highlight of any tour. Previously graced by Louis Armstrong, The Sex Pistols, Paul McCartney, Muddy Waters, The Rolling Stones... And we sold it out in 2014 and again in 2026! Thanks everybody, I'll never forget it 🧡

My Unbroken Tour is basically: I'm wiped out every morning, then recharged by the gig every night. Leeds, West Malvern & Leamington Spa left, then I'm straight over to Denmark in a move I'm calling the "reverse viking"

8-finger tapping on acoustic with gauge 14 strings is pure masochism Thanks Edinburgh, Manchester & Stockton. Sheffield tonight

Coming to a gig? You can now request songs, send me messages or shout-out requests, either before the show or while you're there (link in photo) It's basically an online programme, with lyrics, stories & people's photos from the shows. I can't wait to be back on stage arrrrrggggggghhhhh

Now I'm back to fitness I can start making PERSONALIZED VIDEO MESSAGES again. Every penny goes directly to The Swan Song Project, and I'm only £250 from my 2026 fundraising goal of £2000. Send someone a song/greeting/pep-talk from me, they will love: A) it, and B) you

Playing music again. Feel happy even when I'm sad. Instead of sad even when I'm happy. Hope it lasts Thank you Belfast. Now on to England, Wales & Scotland...

I was worried the 2nd UK Acoustic Bootcamp couldn't live up to last year, but it was even better. The returning campers felt immediately at home, so we could be a welcoming committee for new recruits. After the year I've had, I left bootcamp feeling rejuvenated and reconnected. Bring on next year!

I love doing these. Order your own hand drawn lyrics sheet at jon gomm dot com. Or just make one with AI if your soul has been ensnared by the darkness

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

And the second verse is in Urdu, just because, you know, I like making things as difficult as possible Full video at jongomm dot com BTW this song got me my favourite ever review back in the day: "Sounds like a guitar falling down a flight of stairs while its owner wails with grief"

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"

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!!

People have been asking for a way to help while I'm recovering from my elbow break. But I don't like the idea of taking money for nothing in return So I'm running a raffle! 1st prize... a unique prototype Ibanez JGM10 guitar in a custom Passionflower Hiscox case Raffle tix at jongomm dot com

My first foray back into public guitaring will be in the safe haven of Thomas Leeb's Acoustic Bootcamp this July We will teach you to shred at altitude. Plus: Pine forests, chalets, saunas & käsespätzle My UK Bootcamp is sold out but this one isn't, so get yourself to acoustic bootcamp dot com

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

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

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
