I can hardly believe it. I've somehow managed to put all these little ideas in my head together to make something beautiful...
I'm often asked what kind of record people should expect and whether or not I think it will fit into the current climate. I always have the same answer....
When I think back to the darkest times in my life, music has always been there to save me. The songs on this record are like snapshots of moments in my life. Some sad, some intensely happy and some just plain angry.
Above it all, i've made a record that emotes me and will hopefully do the same for others. The rest will take care of it itself....
I hope you enjoyed listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Now go pre-order it!

MY NEW VIDEO - 'SAVED'!
Hi guys,
I write to you from the comfort of my bed. its 12.32pm and i'm doing my best to get a rid of a serious case of man flu.... Bummer. On a brighter not, i've just received the final edit of my new music video!
The song is called "Saved" and it will my first official single. That feels a little bit weird to say! As you can imagine, i'm really proud. This particular single has a special place in my heart as It was written when life wasn't really all that grand for me.
Anyway, i'll stop banging on and let you have a listen/watch.
Enjoy! x

Perfect jams for this baking weather we're having I reckon.

I think you'll find they did a brilliant job on it!
In other news....
I'm rehearsing like a madman for specially adapted sets at Lovebox Underage etc....
I've been trying to find a way of projecting my Mbira loud enough without it exploding into insane feedback. Its proving difficult to say the least but, i'll get there..... I think.
Right.... back to work. More news soon!
