Happy September everyone! Looking forward to playing the Rustic Stage at Weyfest tomorrow. Also very excited to share another new video, this time from the excellent Balcony TV on a glorious day in Brighton. Playing ‘Summer on the L’ on my gorgeous Baby Taylor. The song is all about taking the L train to and from Brooklyn and is from the new EP ‘Reminders’.
New video – Interview and performance of new song ‘Dreaming in Crowds’ which is all about working hard to chase your dreams no matter how hard. From the new EP ‘Reminders’ ~ enjoy! Thanks so much to Clive Swersky at Alive with Clive for posting and for his kinds words calling me ‘sensational and spellbinding!’
Very exciting news! ‘Reminders’ was played on the legendary ‘Whispering’ Bob Harris show on BBC Radio 2 this weekend! It was lovely to hear Bob say that they love my music at the show and that there is a ‘fantastic warmth’ to my music. Coming from a radio legend like Bob, that’s truly an honour!
You can listen again online until this coming Saturday night by clicking the link below. I’m played between The Temper Trap and Judie Tzuke.

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!
