Check out this really lovely new interview with the excellent Proper Music blog about my passion for music and early music influences and inspirations. Talking about music is one of my favourite things to do and here I discuss how my mum and dad’s eclectic taste opened up a whole new musical world and how seeing favourite male songwriters Neal Casal and Boo Hewerdine inspired me to get out there and do it on my own. Previous artists interviewed for this Waking the Muse feature include Eve Selis, June Tabor, Seth Lakeman and Gretchen Peters so am in illustrious company!

Very excited to announce that the brand new EP ‘Reminders’ will be out in just under a month! The cool promo stand from the tour above 🙂 More news to come!

Just back from the first mini tour which included dates in Farnham and Bucks supporting the brilliant American songwriter Kevin Welch. Singers like Ricky Skaggs, Moe Bandy, Waylon Jennings, Patty Loveless,Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood and Don Williams have all covered his material and it was inspiring to witness his effortless guitar playing, consummate storytelling and warmth.

Next it’s onto Cambridgeshire where I’ve just heard that my headline gig there for Rhythm at the River on May 4th is sold out!
