PLEASE NOTE: CHANGE OF VENUE. NOW AT THE THREE PIGEONS PH, SOUTHAM RD. OX16 2ED.

Performing at folk clubs and festivals – but not sure I am truly folk, when I throw in some up tempo, jazz/soul influenced  songs. I’m based in rural Staffordshire and drag my guitar around the region and the UK, anywhere that will listen!

You will find me at various festivals around the UK and I love the intimacy of ‘House Concerts’ and the ‘café’ scene.
A singer songwriter who absolutely writes from the soul.
Telling a story that people can relate to, is so important to me with my songs, but what comes first, every time, is the sound – always searching for open chords, dissonance, resonance, tension… and from that comes an atmosphere, a direction of feeling that the song needs to take, that almost describes the lyrics that follow.”

One man and a guitar often get labelled as ‘folk’ ‘indie folk’ ‘neu folk’ but whether its slow ballads or uptempo rhythmic songs they are usually confessionary, or observational but always contemporary in lyrical content…

I love the music of Nick Drake, Scott Matthews, Damien Rice, Tom Baxter, John Martyn, Bon Iver, and any other great story tellers who like to mix up their sounds, in a way that’s a little off the norm and I hope they have passed on some good vibes to me.
