Graduated from the degree of Folk and Traditional Music at Newcastle University..I'm now in the Unreal world. I write songs on guitar, my style usually incorporates fingerpicking, strumming and rhythmic elements....variety is GOOD, same is BORING. My influences are anything from nitin sawhney, MIA, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez to nick drake to battles to miss kittin. I have played at the sage, gateshead, the head of steam, the dog and parrot, raintons meadows arena, the green gathering, the green festival, the hexham gathering....amongst many bars, pubs and some HOLES in newcastle! I think originality and CHANGE are important for a musician....and if you are stale, it's time to fall in LOVE again.

This years festival is headlined by Billy Bragg (Friday), Seth Lakeman (Sunday) and Peatbog Faeries (Saturday) with many more top artists also performing incl the award winning The Demon Barbers.
We are interested in starting an acoustic meeting at the pub on Weekend Evenings to start with. What it will involve is singer/songwriters come and play to their peers and an audience. From beginners, to amateurs through to professionals we encourage all to come and play your music to an audience.
These evenings are to bring back the musical side to the pub, and hopefully will be able to bring bands here too.
The acoustic nights will be 100% acoustic to start with; as it will get busier a PA will need to be brought in.
