About Me

I'm a Singer/Songwriter from The Isle Of Wight currently residing in the not so picturesque Hanwell West london... I've been here for 10 years playing lots of music and working with some great players.. I've recently signed to an IOW label! and during the summer of 2007 spent lots of time back at home recording an album with some of the best of the guys I've come across on my musical journey over the past 10ish years... The Album 'City Folk' is due for release somewhen in 2009....

Sounds Like: 'A man who wears his heart on his sleeves.. Full of folk promise with tales of journeys into the sub conscience myriad of heartbreak. Sweet laments with a smattering of regret, forgiveness wrapped up in the beauty of that first kiss! A singer song writer made under the grinding sounds of a combine harvester, thrown and dispatched into the city and wrung out with nothing more than a woolen sweater, a bit of denim, and a good stout pair of green flashes for his tyres.. South meets west- the tambourine meets coffee shop, guitarane where the xylophone takes on the might of the shoe gazers. Long live the city, long live the apple tree..' (Rupert Brown)
