Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a safe, peaceful and lovely Christmas, and thinking of those all over the world struggling with life and to all the amazing people whom work over this period in all kinds of settings.

SINGLE FROM THE BRAND NEW ALBUM OF NEW MUSIC I HAVE COMPOSED OUT IN JANUARY***

I haven't managed to compose new music for some time, its not easy not having a proper work space or even any space with two very active young kids in a small flat :) Although I know we are very lucky to even have a warm roof over our heads in this crazy world.

I am really excited and delighted to be able to give a preview here with this single of the piece “Forever giving” a piece of music dedicated to all medical staff whom are just… incredible.

BUY THE STUNNING NEW INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM NOW!

“Fantastic, virtuoso just sublime” Tim Walker - BBC LINCOLNSHIRE

OUT NOW!

This music was all recorded in one take during lockdown 2020 and is a selection of my favourite music 🎵 on guitar and some melodeon with some really special guests; Natalie MacMaster - fiddle, Donnell Leahy - fiddle, Michael McGoldrick - low whistle, flute, snare, Patsy Reid - strings, Tom Burnett - brass & Ross Ainslie - whistle & it was produced by young upcoming Scottish producer David Macfarlane whom also plays on the record.

It’s not a “folk” album in sense that it’s got 1 or 2 folk style tunes but it encompasses everything I love to play .. a trip to Paris for the classic musette "La Bourrasque" a duet with Canadian fiddle legend Donnell Leahy, Bee Gees "How deep is your love" with Scottish string lady of the moment Patsy Reid, Sting's classic "Fields of gold" a duet with Natalie MacMaster!, a beautiful haunting version of "Lily Marlene" with Irish flute legend Mike McGoldrick & much much more...from Irish to gypsy jazz to classical and all with a strong Celtic/jazz theme.

It’s an album I absolutely love... and it’s me and truly what I am about musically.

It’s been delayed by the dreaded you know what and with non EU membership also that too sadly as all cds are pressed in the EU mostly, and certainly the best value ones!;)

BUY NOW!

Lots of national BBC airplay for the charity single cover of Sting's "Fields of gold" taken from the album "I Got Rhythm" out at the end of February.

Played so far on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, BBC Cumbria, BBC Scotland, BBC Radio Two Mark Radcliffe's folk show tonight wednesday 6th January huge thanks to all that have helped especially Jane Brace.
