About Me

After a year on myspace, my guitar & ukulele keep finding their way back into my hands. Trying to reclaim the spirit of the first poorly recorded postings I put up, the result is random scribbles of tunes. Just acoustic, no beats. I won’t try to kid anyone that I’ve spent my time away wisely & learnt to sing. I still sound like a foghorn trying to murder Bob Dylan.

Just got back from the Latitude Festival in Suffolk. They had set up a little stage, more of a plinth really, on the way in. Thought it would be rude to let an oppertunity like that pass me by. I hit...
