Hey, I am a musician based in Stoke Newington, London.
I spend most of my time in my studio - a small white room with a big blue door in Hackney - you can have a peek around it and meet my instruments in the video below.
Please leave me a message, listen to my tunes, have a browse about my website, and give me a shout if you like what you hear.
Thanks for dropping by
Robin

Hey Robin! Lovely to meet you the other night. I think some more recording is definitely in order - I'll be in touch soon to try & find a time that works! Take care x J Can you touch your toes yet by the way? :)

Hi Robin, hope you are well! Congratulations for your debut album!!! I saw it on Kinzli's birthday dinner, a beautifull desing. I am sure songs even more beautiful! Looking forward for listening do it. Take care,
Hey Hey, Yes consider yourself lucky, I've had many requests to be people's myspace buddies, but only the chosen few make it. I used to live with Iain up in Glasgow many many moons ago. He told me to check out your page, and I did and I think your tunes are catchy and your lyrics flow like a story book Therefore your worthiness on my page. I'm in Vancouver but I've been known to pop into London from time to time, so maybe I'll catch a live show sometime. amy
Hi Robin, Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with French venues (probably due to the fact that I haven't lived there since I was a child :) I remember names like Le Baiser Sale and Le Caf' Conc in Paris, which might still be around. Sorry I can't be more help. Good luck! eve
Hey Robin Good to hear from you and thank you! Hope to see you in London and New York Let me know... Enjoying listening to your music! Best wishes Linda
Hi Robin! No, I'm sorry I'm not, I'm one of the Frenchies who write mysterious things on their notebooks... we might come back and annoy you with our notes again someday!!
Thanks for the album. Me and my lady listened to it when we went out for a drive on sunday. Its really nice... I think The Finchley Waltz is my favorite.
Of course you can my friend, its always a pleasure havin you down!
I was thinking about your album and how you got it done up.... it looks friggin awesome.. So did you get the cd's done seperately and put them in the case or does the joint do both together? Im going to get mine done in the same case i think, just thinking about the best way to get about grooving it.
Summer lives in all of us always man! You've got the sun rays in ya soul! SING ABOUT IT DAMN IT!!!
