Here is a performance of my song “Feet on the Ground”

This song is the first track on my recently released album “Shadow in the Dark” You can listen to album over on my Bandcamp page and if you like what you hear, you can also purchase the digital download! Big thanks to those of you who have listened so far. I’ve been getting some brilliant feedback on the album and it’s so great that people are enjoying it.

Stay tuned for details of the release of the album on CD. I’m hoping to have physical copies available prior to my appearance at the Derby Folk Festival in October.

So it’s June already. How did that happen?!

First of all, I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has listened to my new album “Shadow in the Dark” and especially to those who have purchased the digital download. The comments I have received have been fantastic and make this crazy musical journey, a worthwhile endeavour. The musical landscape has changed so much in recent years, particularly for those of us who write and release original music. It’s good to know there are some people out there who are still interested in what I do.

If you haven’t listened yet, please head over to my band camp page to check it out. If you are viewing my site on a phone, just scroll down a bit, to see the Bandcamp link.

I played a gig in Leicester last weekend, at the Sound House. A new venue for me but very enjoyable! Thanks to Ian for having me on and for putting together a great afternoon of music. I will hopefully be back to play there again, later in the year.

I have some shows booked for later in 2026 but I’m in the process of putting a run of shows together to support the album. Stay tuned for updates.

“Shadow in the Dark” is officially released today! Head over to my Bandcamp page to listen to the album in full and to purchase the digital download. If you buy the album, not only will it support me and my musical endeavours, but you’ll get unlimited listening via the Bandcamp app.

Pre-orders are now open over on Bandcamp, for my new album “Shadow In The Dark”

The album is released on the 22nd of May, but if you pre-order now, you’ll immediately get to download and listen to the title track. The link to my Bandcamp page is below, or in the sidebar of my site, if you looking on a laptop/proper computer!

I’m so excited for this but also a little terrified! Obviously I’ve released several albums over the years with my bands, but this is my most personal selection of songs, dealing with subjects I never thought I’d write about, let alone show to the world.

If you are reading this, your support is greatly appreciated. Please consider pre-ordering the album as it is the main way that I can keep doing this music thing.

Here is the official video, for the title track of my new album “Shadow in the Dark”

The album is released on 22nd May and will be available over on my Bandcamp page, to download and buy. Recorded with one mic, one guitar and one voice, as I tried to retain the rawness and emotion of the songs. I also wanted to keep it simple so I can play the songs solo at my shows.

Stay tuned for detail of pre orders for the album…

I’m delighted to announce that my solo acoustic album, will be released on 22nd May.

“Shadow in the Dark” was recorded with one mic, one guitar and one voice. I wanted to let the rawness and the quality of the songs shine through. Initially, I thought this would help me make the record more quickly than previous efforts, but that wasn’t the case! As usual, the perfectionist in more took a hold, and I kept tweaking the sound. I’ve finally managed to let it go and ready it for release.

In this day and age of exploitative streaming and short attention spans, releasing an album seems a little archaic, but it’s what I’ve always done. I’ve written so many songs over that last couple of years, I have enough for a couple more albums!

It will be released initially via my Bandcamp page and there will be a link to it on here. Hopefully, if I can sell enough copies on the Bandcamp page, I can have some physical copies made later in the year.

Stay tuned for a promo video for the title track, which I’m currently working on.

I have a couple of solo acoustic shows, coming up in May:

May 4th Belper Arts Trail, Derbyshire

May 30th Soundhouse, Leicester

I played at the Belper Arts Trail last year and it was a great show. I’ll be playing again in Coopers Yard on Chapel Street, opposite Morrisons. It’s free entry and there will be loads of other cool events happening all over the Town.

The Soundhouse in Leicester is a venue I haven’t played at before. This show is part of their “Summer Sessions” and again its free entry. Doors are 12.30pm and music starts at 1pm. Promises to be a lovely afternoon of music.

I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be playing at the Belper Arts Trail again this year.

I’ll be playing in Cooper’s Yard at 3pm on Monday 4th May. That’s bank holiday Monday, so no excuse that you’ll be at work!! I’ll be dusting off some of my solo acoustic tracks from my upcoming new album.

There are events taking place all over the town, so there will be lots of other art and music, to see and hear.

Thanks to those of you, who made it out to my show at Duffy’s in Leicester last night.

Thanks also to the legend that is Kevin Hewick for putting the night together and asking me to play. What a voice that man has!

I’m delighted to announce, that I’ll be playing at the Derby Folk Festival again this year. I’ll be performing on the main stage at the Old Bell on Sadler gate.

Weekend tickets are currently available through the Festivals website, but I’ll post further details nearer the time. The line up this year is fantastic with several local acts playing alongside the cream of the traditional and contemporary folk scene.
