About Me

I am a singer-songwriter of (mainly) humourous songs. I accompany myself on the guitar, and I have recently added the ukulele and the english concertina to my instrumental repertoire. Some of my songs have been performed by Boothby Graffoe on BBC Radio 4 and some have been performed in distant lands accompanied by surreal impressions of crustacea.
