About Me

I play a guitar that's bigger than me. I love looking past the surface. I delight in harmonies, food and sunlight. I think that it doesn't hurt to take a good look at ourselves every now and again...and be honest about what we see. I thought I wanted to be a psychologist. It's really easy to give me a fright. I highly value making people feel welcome. I make ugly expressions without realising. I think there is a truth but we all too often ignore it. And at the end of the day I find incredible joy in writing sweet, sweet music that will hopefully, even slightly, create a niggling within an undiscovered part of anyone who will listen.With the help of Tim Parsons (drums), Rowan Tombs (Bass), Kester Lee (violin), Victor Wu (violin) and Richard Meagher (cello) I've been able to embark on a musical adventure since June 08, gigging and recording an EP.I'm not sure where it's all headed, but small delights such as tiny hands playing a big guitar and the nutting out of tasty melodies make this journey into the unknown rather worthwhile.
Recent performances: The Basement, Sandringham Hotel, Manning Bar, Mac Uni, El Rocco (Bar Me), Infusion
