About Me

Been playing guitar too long to be so limited but my limits work for me. I'm solo at the moment since my band The Heavy Fringe disbanded a few years back - we were awesome by the way, even if we did only play two gigs (check out Esker - my old bandmate). Before that I was in a band called Cow 63 with members of Mamma Freedom (check them out too). I've been gigging for about 10 years which makes me feel scarily old. I try to fit in my music inbetween mothering duties and two jobs. I'm the busiest person I know. I'm dying to get some new stuff recorded, which should be happening later this year. I shall share it with you as soon as it happens.

I don’t have time on my hands, I have babies.

The tiny person arrived and caused much disruption! She's a Polly Jo and she's a crier - just like her mummy. I guess it's karma for the trouble I caused my mum. Being a mum of two is SO MUCH HARDER. ...

Baby

Well, I'm having another baby at the start of September so I'll have even less time to do anything! Being pregnant is poo too. I'm going to be massive again. This tiny little person I'm making be...

Gigs and Manchester stuff

Well, I didn't prepare for my gig. I would think it showed, but it was a pretty tame crowd so I think they were too polite to mention my forgetting all my lyrics and changing arrangements as I went. I...

Tomorrow's gig

I still haven't decided on a set list for tomorrow's gig. I'm so lazy! Or busy. Yep busy sounds better - I'll stick with that. I'll probably have to make it up as I go along. It never really matters a...

Hello old friends and new friends. Just thought I'd welcome you and say a quick thanks for clicking on my face. There will be newer songs coming soon. The hold up is due to technological difficulties...
