I was delighted to be returning to play at Firebug in Leicester, last Friday. I have played this venue many times over the years, but the last time was some years ago. Maybe back in the 3 Ring Circus days!!

It ended up being a bit of a different night. Originally, I was supposed to be opening the night for American Artist Ryan Chrys and his band. However, Ryan got stuck in JFK airport for 24 hours, so he didn’t make this first night of the tour. But the show must go on!

Main support act the Noisemakers Guild, decided to carry on with the show and make it free. This also meant I got to play for a bit longer. Thanks to Lee and his band for having me on and keeping the show on the road.

My next live show will be at the Queens Head in Belper, on Saturday June 14th. I’ll be playing a few songs as part of the Hope for Belper event, to raise money for the local food bank. A great cause with lots of great local musicians performing.

Thanks to all those who have come out to watch me play in Wirksworth and at the Hare and Hounds in Birmingham. I really enjoyed playing some of my brand new songs that I haven’t played live before. The response was great.

My next show is at the Queens Head in Belper on June 14th. This promises to be a great night with all proceeds going towards the Belper Food Bank. Set times to follow soon.

Here are details of my next gig. This coming Saturday 17th May, I’ll be playing at the Original Artists Showcase at the Old Lockup in Wirksworth Derbyshire. I’ll be on stage at 4pm.

Thanks to those of you who caught my solo acoustic show at the recent Belper Arts Trail. I was a last minute replacement! Thanks to Tim and Sarah at Musicwirks for having me on.

My next show is on Saturday 17th May when I’ll be playing the Original Music Showcase, at the Old Lock Up in Wirksworth, Derbyshire. I’ll be onstage around 4pm.

“Without You” is a very new song, written only this week. But it felt right to record a video of it straight away. I like writing songs in a 6/8 time signature, as it gives them a nice flow.

Here is “Shadow in the Dark” This song is about a friend of mine. I really miss her.

Here is another website exclusive! “All We Do Is Cry” made its live debut a couple of weeks ago, at an open mic I played near Doncaster. It seemed to go down pretty well, so it’s one to be added to the list for my solo album.

Here is a video of me playing a brand new song “It’s Not Too Late”

I uploaded a clip of this song to my instagram recently, but I decided to uploaded the full version here. A website exclusive!!!

As you may have also noticed, I’ve added recordings of 3 new songs to the site, plus listed details of upcoming solo shows I have booked. There will be more to follow over the next few weeks.

Here is my first song/video of 2025!

“The Golden Rule” has been a bit of a labour of love for me, especially the lyrical content. I’m really pleased with the way this one turned out.
