About Me

'FIRST TAKE' 6 TRACK EP AVAILABLE, ALL ORIGINAL, SOLO AND ACOUSTIC...£3 AT GIGS. 2 SONGS 'KIDS OF YESTERDAY' AND 'YOU'RE NOT LISTENING' ON MYSPACE PLUS 4 NEW SONGS WHICH YOU WILL RECOGNISE IF YOU'VE SEEN ME PLAY.I am a young singer song writer. Learned to play the guitar about 3 years ago and have been writing my own songs since. I love to play live and regularly sing at school, the open mic night at Oranges in Ashford, Faversham folk club, The Ship in herne bay, the Rose in broadstairs, flamin henrys in maidstone and casanovas in Deal. I have also had the chance to play proper, full gigs at the Orange Street Music Club through the Yamaha music school in Canterbury a couple of times, which has been brilliant. This year I have played in the 'Arabesque' tent at LOUNGE ON THE FARM and other festivals in Dover and Ashford, Festival in the park and Create and full gigs during broadstairs folk week. Also played at the Downtown Diner in ashford a few weeks ago which was amazing and opened for the Murphys at Maverick@Zebra in maidstone. Now starting to do full gigs in my own right and playing more regularly in London which is well exciting(Keep an eye on my upcoming shows for latest details). All the songs on the space are my own compositions and recorded and mixed by Jim Laslett. Record loads of songs and have made 2 sort of cd's but they don't sound like my voice now!!! We realised that it is best to do 3 to 6 track ep's as these can be done more quickly and represent my current sound, voice and playing better. The first video is me playing 'You're not coming home' recorded live in my lounge and the second one is ' kids of yesterday' also recorded in my lounge !!!
