End of October updates!

Firstly, I am in preparation of my Halloween costume for this event! I won't ruin the surprise but let's just say that I am currently trying to figure out exactly how I will be able to play guitar and sing at the same time...this should be quite interesting?? If you want to find out how exactly I will achieve this, please come down the Hampton this Thursday!


Secondly, if you didn't get a chance to hear my appearance on Juice FM on Chris T-T's Midnight Campfire show, please check out the Soundcloud link below to hear it again!
It was such a big pleasure to have been played on Chris's show, I am particularly a big fan of his and it's really great to hear he enjoyed my covers EP!
Please also make sure you tune into Chris T-T's show every Tuesday from 12am - 2am on Juice FM 107.2. It's a great show and if you enjoy good folk music then I highly recommend! http://www.facebook.com/midnightcampfire



Thirdly, we are only over a week away until my support slot with the one and only John Power from Cast and The La's! I am very excited about opening the show and especially playing along Alex Lipinski! Please click on the image below if you want a ticket, it is at Sticky Mikes in Brighton next Thursday at 8pm on 06/11/14. Please don't miss out!


Lastly, there will be more big announcements towards the end of the year. 2014 has been a very special year for me but it doesn't end here! I will end this year with a bang!

A special thanks to my friend Carol on this one, I didn't have many pictures from the Komedia gig a few weeks ago but here is one she captured below! Enjoy!

New Photoshoot and Oxjam take 2!

A few weeks ago my good friend Mr Pat Blann of dayinthecity.co.uk took some excellent photos of me around Brighton. Below is just a select few pictures. Please check out the full shoot on the following link on my facebook.




I just want to say a big sorry to anyone I have let down in the past week or so for having to cancel gigs due to feeling poorly and having to give my voice a rest! It's rare I cancel gigs and when it's had to happen, I really hate it! I've had to cancel some great gigs and unfortunately had to very recently turn down a last minute slot with a very special unnamed artist who I admire dearly, turning down that opportunity almost killed me! But hopefully I will get a chance to play alongside that artist in the near future....watch this space *SNIFF*

However, I am now on the mend and almost back to normal! I am very pleased to announce that I will be having another shot at Oxjam on 26th October from 2pm at Thieves Kitchen in Worthing! I will be fully recovered and better than ever for this one! This Oxjam is taking place in Worthing across many different venues! Please do not miss out!

The end of a busy week...and the start of a busy year!


I do try to be as snap happy with my camera as possible but unfortunately my night was a bit crazy but I did manage to take one snap and if you take a look at the above photo, I can tell you is that my gig with Nell Bryden and Lotte Mullan the Komedia in Brighton was indeed incredible! So incredible...Nell's dog even made news in our local Argus!http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/11511972.Singer_s_dog_barred_from_venue_before_her_performance/

Thanks to everyone that came and to those who were involved with such a great night! It was a real pleasure! It was also an honour to have been on the line up with Lotte and Nell who are so lovely and very talented, it was also really lovely to meet them!

So after a crazy week of supporting Nell Bryden at the Komedia, I then hosted Hush Hush at The Hope the next day, I managed to catch up with my buddy Edd Mann and also made some new friends too, Cuba and Magpie and saying farewell to Emma Plunkett who is going back to Australia who will be missed by many here in Brighton. Then the following Saturday, I lost my voice at Oxjam, a great gig and being a part of Oxjam has always been on my to do list. It was a totla shame that my voice didn't hold out for it but it's okay as I will be returning to Oxjam in late October!

So after that crazy old week, I am now enjoying a week off...well sort of anyway! In my week off I have been working with my buddy Nathan Brown, recording guitars for me and Matt Bonner's forthcoming split EP. But of course strictly only guitar parts for me at this moment in time as I am giving my voice a rest and dosing myself up on honey and lemon.

In other news, I have been officially announced to open for John Power at Sticky Mikes in Brighton. I am way too excited about this, if only I could travel back in time to meet my 10 year old self...


In the meantine, I will be making my grand return (from one whole week off!) next Tuesday 7th October at 8pm at The Hope, Brighton. FREE ENTRY! See you there x
