I’m writing this time to let you know about my new membership group on the Patreon website.  Patreon is a well-established way for fans to become patrons and help support creators (musicians, artists, writers, podcasters etc).

Each month, for the cost of a coffee, you will be able to hear and download a song which I’ve written and recorded as a demo but have never released on an album or performed in public.  I was songwriting for 7 years before I made my first album and I’ve only made 7 albums so I’ve got so many songs that have never been heard.

I’m thrilled at the idea of being able to share with you some of these secret songs I’ve been writing over the past 25 years.  And as one of my patrons, you’ll be helping me fund the recording and release of my new albums and the costs of touring.

My first secret song is now available to hear and download.  If you would like to join my Patreon membership and become one of my patrons for £3 +VAT per month, please follow this link:

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Whenever I’m feeling really down and thinking I should give up being a singer-songwriter, I will read messages like these two amazing emails I received last week from people who came to my recent gigs. I can’t thank them enough for writing and giving me such encouragement to keep going when the going gets tough…

“It was an absolute privilege to be able to be there, I could feel the music and your voice vibrating through me, it was so moving and poignant I had to fight back tears through most of the concert. I’ll keep an eye on your website and look out for more concerts and buy some downloads.”

“It was a joy and a privilege to hear you on Friday and to listen to how your songs and words have brought hope, joy and peace to so many individuals. Looking forward to hearing when your new album is completed. Wishing you every blessing as you continue on your creative path because you shine as you perform.”
