I feel very lucky that I've played and sang in piano bars, at some of the larger folk festivals, art galleries, country festivals, pubs, arts centres, care homes, band stands, on street corners and café terraces all over Europe.

My songs may take you to new places and with the feeling that brings the creation of a song I want to recreate the atmosphere and spark of that moment…
 

Performing is like being on a journey – one that can find a lively rhythm - and there’s so much to share along the way…  The beat is strong in my guitar playing and I create bass lines and layer lead phrases on the chord progressions. 

My fiddle was handed down from my Grandma and I might  play you one or two of my compositions. I was inspired to take it busking all round Europe after reading 'As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning' by Laurie Lee. I’ve explored music through many forms.

​

Celtic melodies, blues, contemporary folk, country, rock, popular songs and traditional ballads can all be picked out of my repertoire and it’s usually my own interpretations. 

There are artists who, over the years, have helped to broaden my taste and filled the well while showing me other ways of performing.
These would be the likes of The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, The Waterboys, Bob Dylan, Tracy Chapman, Dick Gaughan, Sandy Denny, Buffy Sainte Marie, Damien Dempsey, Paul Brady, BB King, Victor Jara, Richard Thompson, Alisdair Fraser, Martin Simpson, Andy Irvine, Yvan Agbo, Jacques Brel, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Jethro Tull, Woody Guthrie, Billy Morrisson and  Irish fiddler Kevin Burke... and loads more.
