I am going to be releasing this download single on Friday 4th December on Bandcamp and then on all streaming / download platforms on the 11th. The song will be £1 or more to download from Bandcamp. I am giving all the profits from the sales directly to the Coventry charity Carriers of Hope, who work with vulnerable…

Back in February, I had the pleasure of performing at TedX Coventry at The Belgrade Theatre. I opened the whole event with two of my songs. It seems strange thinking about being in a room with such a large amount of people, but it was an incredible day and I felt honoured to play my pieced commissioned by Coventry City of Culture 2021 about the Universal Human Rights. Massive thanks to the team for putting…

On Tuesday evening I played my first online streaming gig on Zoom! It was really good and new way of interacting with an online audience. The gig was hosted by Acoustic Sanctuary who run regular 3D gigs in London was live music in person was a thing! It didn’t go without a number of technical difficulties in the run-up but it worked well in the end and it was great to play alongside Kate and…

I really enjoyed playing my second live stream gig on Friday even though it the hottest day of the year! It was so hot in my studio that I got rather sweaty. Thank you to everyone who tuned in and donated a ticket price. I have decided that each time I do this I will only leave the stream on Facebook for a week and then add it to YouTube privately for my mailing to…
It had been a while since I played at The Big Comfy Bookshop, the gorgeous intimate venue in Coventry, so it was good to go back there again. The gig was a really special one which included Holly Hewitt joining me on a harmonies as well as Dan Hartland (who was supporting) joining myself and Holly for an off mic performance of Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey. Just before the doors opened for the gig…
