My piece "How It's Gonna Be" was on last night's BBC Music Introducing Hampshire, Dorset & IoW. The support is really heartening and I'm always very pleased and grateful. Thank you both @stephnradio and @laurenscaptures_. BBC Sounds: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00332l…

I wanted to share part of "In Your Thrall". Maybe the grandest and most expansive piece on the album, I thought it deserved it's own spotlight. It builds and builds, trailing off into the instrumental "Uhtceare". #folkmusic #altfolk #fingerstyleguitar #acousticguitar #songwriter

Whilst I'm working on finishing the animation for "Bristol Song", here's a clip from @aliathomasphoto and my shoot, in Nomansland (one of my favorite places). Music: Resent the Man (That I've Become) by Edward Naysmith #folk #folkmusic #fingerstyleguitar #acousticguitar

In late August, I visited Alex Potter's workshop in the New Forest, to try the guitar you see in the photo. It sounded wonderful and I'm very pleased to now own it. At the moment, there's a lot of "background work" for various bits I'll share soon - 1/3

Thank you to those who came out to see our first performance last night. Thank you to Vicki and the team at Flack Manor Brewery. You're lucky when you have good neighbours. You're even luckier when they offer to be your sound engineer for the evening. Special thank you Rupert.

I was away attending my sister's wedding this weekend, in Wisley. Before the ceremony I spent the morning rehearsing in the hotel, for this Friday's Flack Manor Brewery performance (Flack's Taproom, 6-8:30pm).

Spent the morning with luthier A.S. Potter, at his workshop in the New Forest. I've been following his work for the last five years, so it was pleasure to finally meet and chat guitars.

Alex sources many of his woods from around Hampshire. You may have seen him and his work on the BBC's "Inside Britain's National Parks" series, documenting the process. For those who are considering a luthier built instrument (from baritone ukulele, to theorbo), contact Alex.

Less than a month to the home show at Flack Manor Brewery's Taproom. That's September 18th, 6-8:30pm. I'll be playing through the album, accompanied by Amanda Berry on cello, along with some new solo pieces. Come and say hello. #folkmusic #livemusic #romsey #hampshire
