For a #musician the first step back to #performance is rehearsal. We met for the first time since October 2020 on the first day of rule-of-six relaxed lockdown rules to get the ball rolling. Have gigs booked from July. (Positive mindset!)

Three years ago today I released an album called Dragonflies, Frogs and Bumblebees. I still enjoy reminiscing on how it all came together: working with Clive as producer, Tim on mix and master, Katie on artwork, Hugo on animation, Dan on videography (1/2)

I remember when my parents drove me to my first gigs as a teenager, gigs provided by small venues who were willing to take a risk, and provide such amazing inspiration and support. I owe my career to those venues.

Our music industry matters. Not just for the money it contributes, but for the good of our hearts and minds.
The Government needs to offer financial help now, if live music is going to survive this period.
No venues, no gigs, no magic.
