Still buzzing from playing 3 Pop Up Stages at C2C at the O2. Thanks again so much to Country to Country for having me play and to everyone who came along to the shows.  The festival had a great atmosphere with so much amazing live music. Thanks to Jeff G Photography for these great colour shots and to Jon Higham for the cool sepia pic. More photos at my Facebook page and they’ll be more pics to come. To make it an even more exciting weekend I was also played on Bob Harris’s Radio 2 show. Bob played ‘The Boy Who..’ from my latest compilation ‘The Sweetest Dream’ describing it as a song that ‘really tugs at the heart’. It’s also a song I performed over the weekend and available on Bandcamp

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy and healthy 2014! Thanks for all your support this year which really does mean a lot to me. It’s been a busy year with some very cool things happening; my first US magazine cover, ‘Dreaming in Crowds’ single played on Bob Harris’s BBC Radio 2 show, playing many festivals including Latitude, Ipswich Music Day and Homegrown, supporting and singing with the fabulous Eve Selis, plus starting my regular column for Songwriting Magazine and speaking on the panel at the AMA UK music conference before Maverick Festival.

Please check out this new music video for my Christmas single which was filmed, where else, but around historical St Benedict’s! many thanks to the very talented Claudia Taveira. You can also listen to my recent radio session and interview on Livewire1350 which includes my acoustic cover of Bastille’s ‘Pompeii’

Happy Christmas!! xxx

Plus here’s my latest column for Songwriting Magazine, tips on face-to-face networking for aspiring songwriters. My experience of going to the recent Americana Music UK conference made me think about how nerve wracking it can be for artists to network so here’s some tips which I hope help. Link here

New French Song Appelle-moi, UK Festivals, Maverick and Latitude

Have had a great time performing at some big music events and festivals including Ipswich Music Day, one of the largest free one day music festivals in the UK. As well as enjoying some great music, I also ended up doing sets at Maverick Festival and Latitude Festival. I was also part of a panel during the Americana Music Association UK conference that went really well and I gained some great feedback after discussing the use of social media.

Out now! The new single ‘Dreaming in Crowds’ available via Bandcamp plus new video coming too! Single produced by Jeff Hill, photography by Claudia Taveira Photography.

“The production quality is superlative..’Dreaming In Crowds’ is a gently flowing harmonic beauty with a kind of Carole King feel, without in any way sounding like the legendary singer-songwriter.” Maverick Magazine ****

“the crown jewel on this new EP. Dreaming In Crowds is a real singer/songwriter song. It has depth, both in lyrics and arrangement and tells a heartfelt story in which everyone will recognize something.” Inner Ear Media, The Netherlands
