It’s nearly the end of the year and I’ve done my final gig of 2025 at The Old Stables in Cricklade.

After all the gigs I’ve done this year it’s extraordinary to think now that when I came back from Australia on my own in 2023 I thought my career as a singer-songwriter was over.  Dealing with a 20 year break-up at the same time as a bipolar breakdown totally floored me.  Even if I’d been mentally well enough I had no confidence I could perform on my own.

But then I started singing to friends in my sitting room and found that my songs could be performed solo.  Then I had the amazing good fortune to meet Jody Prewett, a fantastic singer-songwriter who lives in a flat upstairs from me here in Bath.  Jody has a car and a PA so we did a few small gigs before my kidney operation last December, then once I’d recovered we started touring together this year.

I have to say a huge thank you to Jody for making it possible for me to start performing again.  It has been such a pleasure touring with him and hearing his beautiful songs night after night.  You can hear him at https://jodyprewett.bandcamp.com.

I also have to say a huge thank you to all of you who have come out to support me at my gigs this year.  It’s been so lovely to see old friends and new faces and get such warm feedback.  It means the world to me and has hugely encouraged me to keep going on this road.  I also want to say a special thank you to all of you who have hosted house concerts for me this year.

Next year I’ll be doing more gigs with Jody but I’m also going to be touring with my old friend Sue Lord who is a fantastic violinist and viola player.  Dates booked so far are all on my upcoming gigs page so please save the date or book tickets now if you’d like to see us.

I’m also going to be releasing a new album which is being mixed right now by David Lord.  David is 81 years old and is renowned in the music business as a producer and composer.  I can’t quite believe my luck in meeting him here in Bath and having the opportunity to work with him.  I am really excited about how the new songs are sounding and can’t wait for you to hear them.

Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and hope to see you at another gig somewhere along the road…
