Nearly 3 years ago I left this little island of ours to see the world. While away, amongst other things, I learnt to play the guitar and sing properly! I also picked up a ukulele which is the best travelling instrument ever. I have now been playing solo for nearly a year and have developed my own live sound based around live vocal loops and finger picked acoustic guitar. Recently, I have also incorporated looped euphonium and music box into my sound as well as the odd bit of banjo.
Since being back in the UK I have recorded the EP 'Men Dressed As Titans' which features the song 'Melpomene, Her Tradgedy'. You can see some reviews by looking at my blog. Hopefully, some more new recordings will be completed soon. Check the blog for details.
I have also been lucky enough to get some radio airplay on BBC Radio Bristol ( Bristol Uncovered ), BCFM ( radiomishmash , wordofmouth ) and Folk Radio UK . Check out all of these shows as they are all excellent for local unsigned music. I have also been played in Europe and Toronto on Rear Window Radio.
