About Me

Over the past 5 years I have written over 100 songs (most of them have never seen the light of day), recorded numerous EPs and played all over the south. The highlight so far has been playing at the joiners in southampton (somewhat of a long-time dream) at their xmas eve bash! I have recently taken a break from the solo acoustic scene and now returned with some new songs and as always, learning ways to improve everytime i pick up my guitar.
