A common thing said to me at the end of shows is ‘I don’t know why I hadn’t come across you before but I’m really glad I did’. The world is full of information getting in your face, hard to filter the unnecessary out. But coming to our shows is definitely in the necessary category! And people often come and tell me they have a song or two that’s stuck in their mind for a very long time …..

We’re doing something unlike anyone else does, songs and music of a singular kind, and people who take a chance on buying a ticket always seem to be glad they did. So, spread the word, momentum is building, include more people in! And of course, if you have seen me/us before, do come to one (or more) of the forthcoming shows – apart from anything else, it’s not always the same songs and the same gibberish between them.

This is a big year for us, with lots of fantastic places and events coming up. We’ll be there doing our unique thing, come and join us.
