I'm a musician/songwriter based in Canterbury, I've been involved in a few projects locally (The Smooth Newts, and now Orphans) - I'm currently working on getting an album written and recorded. The sound is a sort of folk-blues-pop with a bit of psychadelic shit thrown in for good measure.
I play guitar, bass, uke and and dabble with piano and drums. I am also one of the world's leading Kazoo-ists, though I have no proof of this.
Orphans are currently recording their debut album at Viking Studios and will be playing gigs around Canterbury.
