Boo! My album DARK NATURE is out now!
open.spotify.com/album/3Zjkej...

Stems from a Red Riding Hood meets the wolf encounter I had as a kid.

“Unique and melancholic, her songs are dark folk tales in themselves, cinematic in scope but with the intimacy of a campfire.” Spy In The Stalls #newmusic

Our 16-year old staffy Molly passed away last month.

Staffy’s get a bad wrap but they are big hearted, energetic, sensitive, genuine souls who find the fun in everything.

I believe that pets (like partners & friends) find us.

RIP Molly 💔

My son studying the inner workings of a piano🎹

Been through a phase of feeling bound & frustrated by my skills. Heaven would be to play perfectly, with ease, no restrictions.

I realise this would be fun for a while but the hurdles are what make it so satisfying. Without them it’s just mechanics.

“Bow with confidence” the last note I wrote in my notebook at the end of the maiden voyage of my narrative gig Dark Nature

Back on stage after a hiatus felt great AND terrifying but the urge to perform far outweighed the fear of failure - so whatcha gonna do?

Current mantra? Patience & Gratitude 🙏🏻
