About Me

Following my music degree at Nottingham University I moved back to Hereford to pursue songwriting and performance, as well as teaching guitar. I have been gigging as part of a duo, The Accord for a few years, and have recently started solo acoustic shows in order to perform my own material. I have just released my debut album "Grounded" and it can be purchased by clicking here: or downloaded from http://www.tomorrowstunes.com/productDetails.cfm?ProductID=9 2
