I’m so delighted to find out today that my poetry album ‘Words With Wings’ is now available on Spotify.  I’ve been putting up more videos… one for the title track of ‘A Light To Follow’ and ‘How To Conquer’, both songs from my latest album.  I’ve also uploaded a video for a song called ‘Omnia Amore’ which I composed several years ago but never released on a record.  You can watch these videos on my website or my YouTube channel.

I am still recovering from the worst, longest bipolar episode of my life.  I am enduring one relapse after another, but at least I have some fantastic support from my local NHS mental health services and have managed to start working on my 8th album – songs we recorded for ‘A Light To Follow’ that we had to drop because we couldn’t have 27 songs on one album.

I’ve also started booking private house concerts for next year.  If you are interested in hosting a concert in your living room, please look at this webpage and get in touch with me.

I’m finally putting up videos I made in Australia for my latest album ‘A Light To Follow’.  Today I have posted ‘Stay’ and ‘My Way Home’ which you can watch on my website or on my YouTube channel.  More to follow…

Apologies for the radio silence but I have been enduring the worst bipolar breakdown of my life which began in late 2022 and continues to this day.  I am hoping to have recovered and start performing again from September this year.

For the sake of my mental health, I am not on social media anymore – not Facebook, not Instagram nor X.  I have not deleted those accounts as they are a record of the past 20 years of my previous music career with Christian Dunham but they are not active.  I do however have a YouTube channel.  Please feel free to spread the word about my songs via your own social media channels and please join my mailing list so I can let you know when I am well enough to perform live again.  I would be hugely grateful for your support.

I do not have a booking agent, a manager, a publisher, a publicist, a plugger or a record label. Shaktu Records, the record label I ran with Christian for the past 20 years, no longer exists. I want to have as little as possible to do with the music business.  All I want is to sing my songs in quiet rooms and halls with people listening and not talking.  And hope to uplift, comfort and inspire them by doing so.  I don’t care if there are 10 people there, 100 or 1,000.  If you want me to come and play for your audience, whoever they are, please get in touch direct with me by email.

Thanks to everyone who came to listen to me sing at the fantastic Queens Head pub in Newton, Cambridgeshire, last week.  I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to see so many familiar faces and get such big hugs from everyone I haven’t seen for the past 5 years.

A huge thank you to Tim Pardoe for coming all the way from Sussex with my CDs and books, to the lovely landlord Robert Short for lending me his pub, to Mike Watts for taking photos and most of all to my old friend Ecki who lent me his guitar. And big love and thanks to my audience who came from far and wide and squeezed into the room to hear my songs played unplugged for the first time since my first ever public performance at the Square & Compass Inn in Purbeck back in 1996.

If you have a folk club, a music or community group, or a living room with friends you think might like my songs, please get in touch with me direct.
