About Me

With his unique style and presence Robert delivers a wealth of styles and emotions throughout the roots spectrum. His psychedelic folk cum blues cum jazz performances are unique yet accessible, eccentric yet consistent.
In The past year Robert has played a Headline show at the Cambridge Folk Festival and the Clare World Music Festival. He also played Solo Acoustic support for Lulu on her last UK tour.
Either performing solo acoustic or with full percussion including a 6ft Gong, the live shows are full of sonorous dynamics with an intensity and energy radiating from the stage.
Robert is releasing his debut album on his own label. But is always looking for a dedicated progressive label to release his songs to a larger & wider audience.
Robert is also happy to be approached by labels or artists requiring material for thier own releases. Robert has an extensive back catalog ranging from country Ballads to Hardcore Rock.
