Sadly during the start of February, I was still testing positive for Covid so it was a bit of an off start but thankfully I had very mild symptoms and felt ok in end. I am fully recovered now. During the last few weeks, I have been on four visits for my songwriting project with Coventry City of Culture. I…
It’s been a while since I really focused on blogging but I am going to make an effort in 2022 to share at least a monthly post about what I get up to each month. I am writing these as much for myself as they are for you to read, they are a bit like my own personal diary so…
I have been super busy packaging up orders for my CD bundles which people have been ordering. I have loved putting them together and writing little handmade cards to everyone. Your support means alot to me!
Here is the complete video of my live from my TedX Coventry performance from earlier this year. I hope you enjoy it watching it and finding out a little bit about some of my songs.
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…
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…
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…
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…
As I sit here and reflect over the last decade of writing and releasing songs as Stylusboy, I feel very grateful to be able to share my creative output with you. It warms my heart that so many of you connect with my songs. I have released 2 studio albums, 2 live albums and a covers album as well as…
Creating ‘Routes’ was a long but very beautiful process. A lot was going on for me outside of music with my work that supports music and my family life but I have to say the sound I have created on this album is wonderful. I completely self produced this album and I loved creating it with these wonderful musicians. BLOGGED…
I was invited in by EXPRESS MUSIC in Coventry to record a live session with them. They said I could play any guitar I wanted for the session?! Was I going to say no?
It’s been a number of years since I traveled up to Leeds to play at All Hallows’ to support the release of my debut album but I was very much looking forward to returning. On the journey up last time the rain was horrendous but thankfully this time the journey was perfect. I arrived in good time and met with…
