On Tour.

I will soon be touring with Brighton-based singer Lisa Lindley-Jones (www.myspace.com/lisalindleyjones), mainly adding small, subtle Accordian parts to her songs, but also playing some Melodica, Guitar and possibly even Piano in parts. I am very much looking forward to an interesting experience - the music is completely different stylistically to how I am used to playing, and yet, the ambience at once feels wonderfully familiar. For the bulk of the dates we will be supporting iliketrains (http://www.myspace.com/iliketrains).

Please note that I will be performing solely as part of Lisa's act, and that my role is to add a quiet, subtle flavour to the music. Think ambience, not showmanship.

After the tour I plan to turn my full attention to composing original material.

The future.

I hope that many of you will be pleased to know that I am going to cut down on my working hours so that I may pursue my dreams more seriously, this is something that will happen within the next month. After which, the first thing I need to do is to devote the bulk of my time to creating my first album, for which I already have a few songs written, and many various little ideas.

Watch this space...

On Friday 20th July, At 8.15pm, I walked onto the largest stage I have ever performed solo or otherwise - and the very same stage at which I saw Yann Tiersen perform 3 months previously. The wonderful response of my audience after each piece was everything I ever wished for as an undiscovered artist.. and I'm sure everyone in the venue could tell just how much this performance meant to me, as I can barely put into words how I felt playing on that stage but that there was simply an incredibly powerful response in my chest to every nuance of every piece.. every loud, every soft, every rush and every drop..


I would be incredibly hard pressed to find one single event from which I have felt a more fulfilling and longer-lasting sense of accomplishment.. In which I have walked a room and received such praise.. the night where I stood and performed on the same ground as the man who inspired my return to the Piano. After my performance, I spent the evening relishing the wonderful feedback I received from everyone who approached me, basking in the proud smiles of my family, who have supported and encouraged my talents since I was a young boy.


Since that night, I have felt inside such a true sense of belief in myself! In both my ablilities as a musician, and my performance in front of a large audience... I feel like I can achieve everything I desire - my dreams of a music career. I don't believe I have ever been happier, or more inspired... here's to the future!
