As a contemporary folk singer, I have always believed that folk music should reflect the world that we live in, as well as the usual songwriter’s catalogue of the ups and downs of their personal lives.
And so, here are a few of the latest songs - I try to write one at least every couple of weeks, for if I don’t, how can I be called contemporary?
Beyond this page, you’ll find a semi-serious biography, a history of the bands I’ve played in and a stack more music. Most of what I do now involves either narrowboats or trombones.
