"knee deep in looped acoustic guitar" - Drowned In Sound
"A man and his guitar that transcend what you’d expect from such a simple combination to become more than the sum of the two constituent parts. Adding loops, found sounds and bird noises alongside his voice and guitar constructs moments of absolute beauty. You won’t witness an audience as enthralled by one man anywhere else this year." - White Noise Festival
I make noises with acoustic instruments and sounds. Sing songs with them. Take rubbish photos that I like. Love riding bicycles. Love stereo recording. Hate mixing. Play in made up tunings. Sing songs to the night, the sky, the birds.
You may be pleased to hear that I've decided to take things seriously now and actually try and get me some gigs! I've got some new songs on the 'Space if you'd like to have a listen. :-)
Ha ha you must be nearly as old as me then!! going back to the vinyl days here....next time you are passing St. Ives call in & say hello. Best Wishes Karen x

Thank you, Peter, I'm well... Am in the middle of 6 weeks' break between jobs (after a few very trying months); spent a few weeks in Berlin, am starting to make some music again after a lengthy hiatus, and am approaching a state of zen-like calm... And you?
