Bio

I grew up in Newcastle til going to Art school in Oxford where singing took a hold and trans-European busking began. Caught the travel bug and sang & collected songs and painted pictures around North and South America, Bhutan, Burma & Thailand & then discovered Africa.

Entranced by the pygmy singing of the Baka from a TV documentary, lived with husband Martin Cradick in the rainforests of Cameroon & together set up Baka Beyond (African/Celtic band) and Global Music Exchange (charity returning royalties to forest projects). The band has been going for 12 years and has played all over the world and for 2 summers Baka musicians have come to Europe to play alongside Baka Beyond.

New album!

Latest is a long brewing solo album, to be released on December 1st! Full of songs that I have loved and sung since what seems like forever! They’re reborn with the help of lots of fantastic musician friends: Martin of course, friends through Baka Beyond - Ayodele Scott and Eleanor Churchlow, wonderful banjo riffs from Leon Hunt, accordion Tim Edey, and Ed Boyd (guitar) and Brian Finnegan (flute) from Flook. The mood is from lovey-dovey/folky to quirky calypso with a real treat of hearing Baka kids sing one of my songs deep in the forest.

This album takes me on a journey from my teenage singing to now. Hear it and I hope it takes you on a good journey too.

I’ve always sung and painted and used to have a dilemma about which art form to follow. Although I trained as a painter I always had more fun being whisked away to play sessions and sing with friends. This album brings the two strands of myself together as I have done the artwork.

See more paintings below...prints and music available at the Baka shop.

Track info

Power of prayer: I jammed at Edmonton Folk Festival with a talented young guitarist, Sarah Elliott. This transatlantic collaboration was the result. The song was written by our friend Ged Beasley, who now also lives in Canada.

United state of mind: A version of a song by fellow Geordie, Alan Hull, with backing vocals by Eleanor Churchlow, friend and ex-singer in Baka Beyond.

Zombie Jamboree: I love songs that make me laugh and this British-style calypso certainly does that.

Listen to me: A song by a special friend, hedgerow-weaver and songwriter Lucy White.



The Joy of Singing CD and Booklet

This booklet and CD contains a collection of fun songs from around the world, suitable for teaching to all age groups. Includes booklet of all the words and music with sugesstions of how to introduce singing to your group. Click here for further information.

Giving back

To give back from some of my musical experiences, I set up the Walcot State Choir in 2000 and spread singing everywhere. We really have fun and often sound good! The singing together has made really good friendships. I give ear-bending and mind-opening singing workshops in schools and in the community. I teach non-singing teachers to be able to teach singing through Jenny Mosely’s consultancy.

How's it going?

Tunes sound really nice.

We're hoping to have our Album finished soon too. Really excited!

Myself and Lou are staring a folk club next year. We'll talk to you about getting you in for it if you are up for it.

I heard about your album launch yesterday. Got to work unfortunately but Lou will probably make it. Hope it goes well. Speak soon.
