About Me

I am a singer/songwriter from the dark hills of yorkshire.Have spent years playing in bands, touring and recording and have now decided to go it alone and explore my deepest fears, desires and general flights of fancy.Songs are inspired by the love of story tellers, be they musical or not, all have been and in future will be recorded with Will Jackson of Soundworks who has been a fantastic inspiration over the years and recently in my new venture.I welcome you all to my profile and I hope you enjoy the music.I also think reffering to one's self in third person on bios is vulgar!
