About Me

Following collaborations with electronica artists Rhian Sheehan, Module, and The Upbeats (LOOP Recordings catalogue www.loop.co.nz), I'm returning back to old-fashioned music making. Just a guitar and simple songs. Minimal, delicate and honest...folky. Am just putting the finishing touches on my solo album which was recorded down at the Surgery with Lee Prebble. Justin "firefly' Clarke was in the producers seat putting up with my lippyness. He remains slightly traumatised but I think he will recover...eventually :) The band and I are playing gigs around Wellington, I'll keep you posted. Album due out some time soonish....
