It’s amazing when someone hears a song you’ve written and instantly ‘gets it’. I’m feeling rather fortunate that just such a person happens to have an awesome indie music blog and be a musician and a poet all rolled in…. Check out Krister Axel’s review of ‘Still Here’ on Chillfiltr.
“An inviting call for emotional solidarity across all lines of division.”
Still here also features on Chillfiltr Roots Playlist.
I’m very happy to be donating all the proceeds of my latest single ’Still Here’ released on 15th November 2019 to The Ocean Clean Up. This amazing project has taken incredible, innovative steps towards a real solution to dealing with and clearing the plastic pollution in our rivers and oceans across the planet. Every single bit of the money earned from the sale of this single will be donated to the project.

My Random Jukebox is a treasure trove of unsigned musicians carefully curated by the man himself. James is a true music fan and his website is perfect for anyone looking to keep their ear to the ground for new tunes.
I am super excited to announce that I am back in the home studio ( after what feels like way too long ) to record a new album.
The tracks are coming together and I'll be releasing more details here soon .....
