Hi and thanks for dropping by ,in the weeks to come music clips will be updated and info on where I am and what I am doing.

(Currently learning the Cello !!) dont know when that will get taken to gigs !!

Well the title button says About Me so what shall I tell you. I dont think there has been a time in my life when I havent been singing. Aged 16 I first heard the amazing voice of  Joan Baez I was so impressed I went straight out and bought a guitar, from then on I discovered Joni Mitchell, leonard Cohen,Tom Paxton & all the other wonderful singers of that era.

Then a good friend took me to a Folk Club & I discovered Traditional music and the rest as they say is history.

When I write my  own songs  they tend to reflect local legends  or people I know who make good song subjects.(see Fisherman John on song lyrics page)And  the West Country in general  is very inspiring for songwriting.

I have supported Fairport Convention, The Albion Band,Phil Beer, Ian Bruce,Bob Fox, Pete Coe,  St Agnes Fountain, Brass Monkey, Balzin Fiddles to name but a few.

I have  recorded 2 CD's Full Circle Round and Timeless.

A 3rd is just around the corner !
