Cosmo is a man with guitar.
His songs take on everything from love, politics, dreary Sundays to dingy bedsit philosophy. Over the course of four self-released albums, he’s developed a unique and diverse style, consisting of punk, folk, hip-hop, human beatboxing, bluegrass and cowpunk.
(In no particular order.)
Cosmo has taken his one man show all round the UK, Ireland, Europe, the US and South America. He is a regular at the summer festivals, having played and compered stages at Glastonbury, the Edinburgh Fringe, the Secret Garden Party and the Big Green Gathering to name but a few.
He’s also shared stages with Pete Doherty, Frank Turner, Dreadzone, Martha Tilston, Tracey Curtis, Chris tt and Nizlopi, amongst others.
(And just about got away with it.)
Armed with a portable amp, he’s also played at protest camps, picket lines and pirate radio stations all over the shop.
"Cosmo does not need to think too hard when he writes a song because he is a soul searching philosopher that is constantly thinking about the meaning of life, questioning why life is the way it is, occasionally getting angry about it, wondering what can be done to put it right, and trying to work out whose round it is."

In 2007, he won the Golden Comb Award at the Hay Fringe Festival.
