Hi there and Happy 2012 from Jimmy Carton. Thank you to all who have been asking after Jimmy.
First of all, the website was down for a while due to some serious hacking. We had to call in our own ‘big guns’ to get us back up and running (Thank you Gary F!). All is again safe and operational.
Jimmy is very well although not performing these days. He has a new ‘day job’ which has been keeping him very busy. He’s enjoying the work and the new experiences that the job is bringing him, although he does miss performing and meeting up with his fans (friends!). We don’t expect to see Jimmy performing in the near future, although of course he keeps his options open.
In the meanwhile – we are very pleased to announce that he is now available on iTunes and amazon. Check it out and download your favourite tunes today!

Take care and for those who have sent messages, made comments on his YouTube videos or his facebook page – thank you so much! Jimmy always loves to hear from you.
Have a great New Year, and perhaps you’ll hear more from Jimmy in the spring.
Classic Jimmy Carton (photo by Smitty)
Jimmy has had a pretty exciting summer so far with shows near and far. He started out with a FANTASTIC Spring Concert at McVeigh’s New Windsor Tavern in May. Anyone who didn’t attend must put the event on their calendars for next year. There has been a lot of pressure on Jimmy to do a Christmas show based on the great success of the Spring Concert – so stay tuned there. Speaking of McVeigh’s, Jimmy joined several other talented musicians to do a few songs at a Customer Reunion day at McVeigh’s in July (which coincided with a significant birthday for Jimmy Sr. 
. Smitty took some great photos that he has graciously shared with us so check out the photos. After that the gang were at a private concert in a beautiful setting in Fort Erie. The sun was shining and a good time had by all. Most recently Jimmy, Derek and Albert are just back from an outstanding tour in Newfoundland. Thanks to all who hosted those shows (John Baker & Nora Tremblett, Keith Mooney, D’Arcy Broderick) and of course thanks to the one-of-a-kind audiences! Check out that album as well for photos!

After a summer of rest it’s a pleasure to report that Jimmy Carton is back in fine form. So many of you sent JC your good wishes and prayers, and for that he thanks you. So what’s next?
