Me & The Music

Hello! I'm a gigging singer-songwriter. I also teach guitar, deliver songcraft workshops and run live music events.

Based in Sussex, UK I travel all over to perform both solo and with band. I love the opportunities for connection that music brings - particularly live music - and it makes me very happy to be a part of that process and to pass it on.

Do check out my GIGS page.

There's a couple of very special gigs coming up in August.

Firstly a benefit gig (solo) for the Pernicious Anaemia Society (PAS) on 22nd in Lewes.

This is a cause close to my heart - quite literally - and I'll be saying a bit more about that nearer the time.

Secondly - drum roll - the band have gone and won ourselves the opening slot at this years' Local & Live festival in Tunbridge Wells. We're kicking off the whole thing in Calverley Gardens at 5pm on Fri 28th Aug. See you there!
