  • Bio

    Hi!! I played in various bands (who can forget Cold Feet, White Line Fever [who once supported Osibisa!],The Giggly Pillows [one giggle only] and Items on Toast?) and solo in North London before moving to Brighton. The Brighton places I've played include, The Caroline of Brunswick, The Greys, Joogleberry Playhouse, Sanctuary Cella, Western Front, and Hope. In the past I've recorded with other musicians, but lately i've opted to record songs on my own, as I quite like the 'folksy' [ and dateless] feel. Coming from Hampstead North London, I don't think of myself as a folk singer: I suppose you'd class my music as 'singer songwriter', but I try to avoid unnecessary whingeing -- there's quite enough of that around already! If there's anyone out there who lives in the Brighton area likes the sound of what I do it would be great to hear from you. Especially if you play an instrument! .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. ..
