About Me

Right, I started out playing music at around the age of 14 and have mainly played in Wallingford, my second musical home, if you like. The Acoustic Ballroom, the Coach and Horses and the Portcullis Club, all those peeps are fab, seeing as they gave me loads of support when I played there for the first couple of times and bricking it! South By South West was an AMAZING experience, never seen anything like it! But I think the Folk Alliance in Memphis is the best thing since sliced bread, it was so much fun and it was a great way to meet loads of new people! I've recentley just been to Colorado for the Folks Festival and the Song School, which is such a great experience, even though you have to camp. And before then I had never camped in my life, but there's always a first time for everything, I guess. Ooh, and just to let you know, these recordings are by no means the finished product, they are rough, i mean really rough, demos that I recorded in my room, just in case, you know!
