About Me

I haven't written anything here as of yet because I just don't know what to say! Then I think to myself, 'Have you NOTHING to say!? and then get a likkle bit mad at me for being a biog wimp. I must admit though I do find the whole' self big up' thing a little bit stange but hey, here goes.... I sing and I write songs, but find myself reluctant to call myself a singer/songwriter....know what I mean? I play the piano and the guitar mostly to appease my soul and to help clean up the debris of everyday life, living and learning, the happy after effect are the songs, I then sing to lift my spirits and remind me that I've moved on. A song, a snapshot of a feeling, a slice of life, an audio polaroid. Works for me anyway :).I do music because it doesn't feel right doing anything else, it adds meaning to my world and fills me with a sense of purpose. . .'

My Blog

Arty farty folks pick me up.

Setbacks, face smacks, let downs and hurt. Get strong, don't take to long, focus and work. Don't doubt, don't dwell, don't get to down. Do love and do hope and do smile not frown! X

Mini poems

Speak easy special devil, hold your tongue and cast your doubts, cast your doubts in fire of Iron, melt them into molten clouds. Speak softly simple silence, let me feel your empty space, eyes half cl...
