1st January 2022: Sadly my forthcoming gig at Dartford Folk Club is postponed for the second time…. Happy New Year!
17th July 2020: Another home video and an online gig…
27th June 2020: Home videos
Like many others I’ve been making some home videos. Nothing fancy but nicely recorded… I’ve just uploaded the first one if you want to take a look. It’s called “The Chisel, the Plane and the Lathe” and it’s from my 2020 album Winter Hill.
15th May 2020: Northwich Folk Club. Virtually a gig!
My last two gigs before lockdown were at the Woodman Folk Club and Chester Folk Club in mid March. Both were lovely events and felt very special to me. I think everyone realised a change was coming and really appreciating being there. Since then I’ve been missing gigging so was delighted to be asked to do a 30 minute virtual set at Northwich Folk Club on 15th May. The club has done a fantastic job of keeping their singers nights going via Zoom and since I was supposed to be the guest that night they asked me along. Click here to see it.

While on holiday in Skye with my Mum the other week we happened upon the Red Roof Cafe which is right at the other end of the island from the ferry or the bridge. It’s basically a tiny but very lovely cafe in the middle of nowhere. While we were eating our delicious cheese scones, I noticed that not only do they have live music at the Red Roof Cafe but their next guests are Tyde, who I’m supporting at Grayshott Folk Club in November… what are the...

Two new videos are now viewable on my video page (or on YouTube). They’re showcasing two songs from my forthcoming album. The two songs are City Girl and By The Way. The videos were made earlier in the summer at Jackson’s Lane Community Centre, filmed by the London Music Video company. I think they’ve done a great...

Knitting through Harry’s Eyes at Dartford Folk Club
Had a lovely night at Dartford Folk Club on Tuesday. We got the usual Dartford Folk Club welcome from Pam, Alan, Rob, Colin and the rest of the crew…. An added bonus was that I got to show the audience progress on my gray poncho by way of introduction to the Knitting Song. Nobody else seems interested so I was desperate! The evening also marked the world debut of “Harry’s Eyes”…. The very Harry who inspired the song was in the audience and luckily didn’t seem to take offence…. (it’s a VERY silly song which will appear on my new album in due...

Last week I spent the day along with Dave & Boo and a film crew shooting the video to help promote my forthcoming album. It was very exciting! I’d hired Studio 1 at Jackson’s Lane Community Centre which is a beautiful room with great lighting. More photos to be posted soon on the photo page once I’ve worked out how to make it work! I should get the rough cut of the video within the next week or...
read moreMy new website
If you’re used to my old website you’ll notice that this one is both different and unfinished! My computer recently crashed. It’s a sad comment on modern life that it felt as if this event threw my whole life into disarray! Amongst other things it meant I could no longer use the same software for my website so I’ve had to reconstruct the site from scratch… Still getting to grips with it but in the end it will hopefully be a bit more the sticky…. Hope you like...
