About Me

Inspired primarily by the natural world and human nature, I have always had an enquiring mind. As an avid traveller I enjoy a good adventure and have spent quite a bit of time abroad, which has really influenced my music. I have been playing solo for about a year and a half, although I started a Primary teacher training in September, which means I currently donâ€™t have quite as much time to play live. I have been really enjoying the course though, especially as I use my music a lot, and I get to teach in Paris for a month. Over the years Iâ€™ve gigged across the UK, and overseas in France, Mexico, Spain and Iâ€™ve been in various duos, bands and choirs. Here are some new recordings I recently had mastered, a CD of these tracks will be available soon. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
