About Me

The three new songs you see integrated into my playlist have been recently recorded to mark the end of an era. The insanely talented Dave Neale of Nine More Lies has been graciously allowing me to join with him in many of his acoustic gigs over the last five years, as his backing singer and violinist. Finally, joining forces with the fantastic vocals of Anna Haigh, and myself on vocals and violin, he has created an album of his best work. I hope you enjoy it...
...and if you do, scootle over to www.myspace.com/musicforstrangers for Dave's solo acoustic stuff, not to mention www.myspace.com/annahaigh for more of the lovely Anna.
And now for a little about myself...
I love to play, to create, to let it all out. And to have fun in the process.
Every one of my songs means something personal to me...primarily I play to express, not to impress!
I often play open mic nights in and around Sheffield, so keep your eyes open for events on here, I'll put them up as and when they happen.
Hope you enjoy what you hear :-)

My wonderful talented parents, who filled my life with music before I was even born...

...and a HUGE musical influence from before I even had the privilege of performing alongside her:

Helen Burgess, who has repeatedly turned down opportunities of fame to keep her personal integrity in tact, and who taught me that a) nothing in this world can rob you of the right to sing, and b) we should always sing from the heart and never make any excuses for what comes out.
