Lockdown
Hello all,
Just like 3 Billion other folks across the globe, I am currently under house arrest. So all gigs are off for the foreseeable.
I’ll be focusing on producing podcasts for Ickonic and trying to do whatever I can from within my house.
I will be playing the odd show here and there, via stream. As well as videos of me being bored and acting like a Wally.
Keep in touch at twitter, facebook and Instagram. Links are at the top of the page.
Keep well. x
Red Brick Heart
This song was written as part of the Arts Council Project ‘The Travelling Band’.
I travelled to Belper in Derbyshire and was tasked with writing a song that afternoon, to be performed that evening to the locals. This was my effort…
My Favourite Summer – For Elora.
I’m working on a few ideas for different music videos but for now, here’s a little homemade job I knocked together for Elora.
It’s a track I wrote for her, called ‘My favourite summer’.

Industry Of Lives – EP & Merch Available Now…
My brand new EP is available now, at all the usual stockists. You can download the record from Bandcamp aswell (I get paid more reasonably by them!)
If you’re into Tees and Hoodies, I have knocked a couple of them up as well. Simply click on the thumbnail and it will take you to the product in my Rapanui store.

Live & Loud Bookings
Ello.
I am now available for bookings via Live & Loud.
Obviously you can always contact me directly, but if you are on of the 5000 venues in the UK that are connected to Live & Loud, you may find it easier to use the booking service they provide.

Travelling Band Project – Day One – Belper.
The Travelling Band project was an 8 date UK Arts Council project. Different songwriters and poets from the Derby area, were taken to a particular town or village, and given the task of writing a song in a couple of hours, and then performing that song to the people of that town or village, that evening.
Here are a couple of clips from day one in Belper, Derbyshire.
And here is the track, performed live… while reading lyrics from a sheet. My memory is pretty good, but it ain’t that good.
