Ross is a singer/songwriter who plays gigs in London and his hometown Cambridge.
He began his musical life in a space rock band which he left in 2002 to become a solo artist. Since then he has become a regular on the acoustic
scene, turning heads and receiving praise for his increasingly mature and compelling performances.
Ross has just finished his debut album "Wake" which will be released april 2007.
"In a beautiful acoustic setting, Ross’ voice is proud and strong-willed, his lyrics worldly-wise and almost world-weary. Relaxed in this knowledgeable purpose, his music gives comfort to the solitary in gentle tunes steeped in layers, much, I imagine, like himself. With much to think about and much to discover, awareness is displayed in his poetry that is not found on every singer/songwriter’s manuscript. At his most delectable in his purely romantic songs, his warm voice and concerned words would melt the heart of an ice-maiden. In every song, Ross proves that intelligence, sympathy and self-awareness is sensual and moving." Juliette Burton
"One of the UKs best acoustic artists" Line in
"Ross sings beautiful ballads laced with dark humour he has a fantastic vocal range and is one of Cambridges most inspiring songwriters." CambridgeBands.com

Sounds like wind blowing in a wheatfield, train rolling down the line, rain coming down on a old tin shed, steel, wire and a rusty heart. Boots of leather and dust and ash. Mollasess and coal and stone. Wedding rings and buried bones of love broken and burnt. Tales and the footprints, ravenswings and souls are earnt."

There is no place on the whole planet like Goa, where tens of thousands of people, like minded people who want to live an alternative lifestyle, not the normal way that everyone lives in their countries, but something different, come here to Goa. Its so internatonal with people from all over the planet and everybody is enjoying the beauty of the nature and the wonder of India...

My friends at Ministry of Sound have asked me to let you know about their new compilation – Underground 2008. Instead of focusing on chart dance hits, this is a celebration of the edgier sound that has developed over the last year or so, combining elements of house, techno, electro and minimal styles. These are the tracks that have stood out from the crowd to prove the genuine dancefloor destroyers – so you’ve got the likes of Claude Vonstroke, Trevor Loveys & Sinden, Martin Buttrich and ZZT.
