I have been playing solo and accompanied gigs since 2000, mainly in the South East (of good 'ole UK that is!). I'm currently living in a quirky little sea-side town called Hastings. I've performed in Brighton, Tunbridge Wells and London ( including The Astoria and The Half-Moon in Putney) as well as various festivals, such as the Big Green Gathering in Somerset, and The Earth Spirit Camp in Kent. . . .
.
I don't know how to describe my music really-It's Alternative folk I guess, with lots of different influences thrown in the mix e.g;Psychedelic, East-European/Gypsy, English Folk, French Folk, Rock.... Have a listen and make your own minds up! ~~~~
My songs explore relationships, mysteries, the search for inner meaning, lonelyness,disconnection, unity, inner darkness and inner light. ( I'm a bit of a hippie you see....!)
Although I've done alot of solo gigs I've also played with instrumentalists including guitarists, a cellist and bass players, one of whom I'm working with at the moment.~~~
I have recorded two albums so far; The Nothing Machine (2003) and Ephemeral (2006).
"The Nothing Machine" combines English Folk influences with 60's pop, Psych and a dash of European Folk and Gypsy styles.
"Ephemeral" covers similar territory but delves deeper into Folk and Gypsy influences.~
Other hobbies of mine include reading, Dancing Badly, doing Tai Chi and drinking Earl Grey. NEWS!
