About Me

Born in Cornwall, bought up in Totnes Devon i now live in Plymouth.New album out with Jim Causley on the "wild goose" label called "Lost Love Found", we've had air play already, you can check the re-play on Mike Harding's show on the radio 2 website. Done some recording with Jackie Oates on her new album, which should be released in the new year or sooner on Phil Beer's new lable "Chudleigh Roots". Going to do some playing with Jackie now in her future gigs and hopefully a few with Jim (if we get any!) so i'll try and keep you posted. My album is almost recorded now, Steve Tyler put some great hurdy gurdy down, Jackie's whipped up some great fiddle sounds, Gris has added some fantastic parts, all that's left is my main vocals and a host of backing singers including Jim, Jackie and hopefully the wonderfull "cotton Mouth-ed" Sally. Once I've found a way of releasing it, it'll be public!I'll keep you posted. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
