Happy New Year! Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and productive 2024.

“A fine voice from a fine city!” Such an exciting start to the year – I have a lovely in-depth interview/feature in the new January issue of Suffolk Norfolk Life magazine. Available in WH Smith, local shops, from their website or call 01728 622030 to buy a copy for £3.50 (plus postage).

It was really nice to speak to John Kerrison about my music career, songwriting, private teaching, music courses & well-being sessions for Adult Learning, as well as my work as a supporting artist in some Norfolk and Suffolk films and TV shows.

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

Had a great time performing my Christmas single (plus a fun Christmas cover!) at UEA TV’s Reverb Christmas Special. Photos above and video to come soon!

A real Christmas treat hearing ‘St Benedict’s Christmas Fair’ played on Bob Harris’s show last night! Bob played a lovely selection of festive songs and described my tune as ‘so sweet and really lovely!.’ Thanks so much to Bob for all the support and also the other radio stations and shows that have supported the single (Future Radio, Norwich 99.9, BBC Radio Suffolk, Acoustic Routes, Wrecking Ball Radio and many more) Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas!

Listen again to the show here my song is on at 1:52!

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.

Plus here’s my very own page on the Bob Harris website with photos of Bob and I and it also lists other times I’ve been played on the show and been live in session.
