Description:
I'm originally from Rutland, East Midlands but now living in Stoke Newington, North London. For the last two years or thereabouts I've been touting my folky wares at venues around London. I've played all over the place alongside some great acts, including Findlay Brown, John Smith, Davey Graham and Spiers & Boden. As much as I love the London gigs I like to tour as widely as possible, and every so often I get all maudlin about the sticks and head for the midlands. This Autumn I did a tour of the midlands with Folkwit Records. In the summer I took part in a collaborative project with Nitin Sawhney called Aftershock which culminated in a gig at the Royal Festival Hall. As a result of this I've been appointed Emerging Artist In Residence at the Southbank Centre. As well as the gigs I've got coming up at the Southbank, I'll be featured on Nitin's forthcoming album London Undersound.
