I’m going home, and taking the band with me !! (Well for one weekend!)
I am so excited to be heading home to Cornwall this weekend – I am playing Looe Festival !!! It’s a very special gig for me because I haven’t played in Cornwall for four years ! I really can’t wait to show everyone what I have been working on. Looe is where my Mum and Dad live and a place very close to my heart and family history. Lovely Stuff !!
Me and the band have been working really hard on a very special set for you. We have the lovely Dave Stewart joining us on drums as George is off touring with Moya (Supporting Rod Stewart!!) – very cool !!! I will add some info about Dave on my ‘&friends page very soon.
So come see me at 1:15pm on the Blue Banana Stage, Sunday 29th where I will be offering my EP half price for download !!!
If you can’t make it, I am going to be at Truro on Friday on Lemon Quay with Radio Cornwall !!! Come see me get interviewed and sing some songs!!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!! ‘Ansome.
Hostess of the Mostess !!
I am fortunate enough to have a lovely job in which I get paid to listen to music and have a glass of wine…. !!
Here in Brighton and Hove, I have been hosting Open Mic nights and Acoustic Showcases for over 3 years. It’s one of my favourite things to do. I get to create an atmosphere, meet new musicians and comedians and have wonderful evenings spent singing, dancing, laughing, harmonising and jamming.
My babe is The Quadrant Open Mic which I run every Tuesday. I’ve been working with the Manager Jack for two years and we work hard and making the evenings fun!!
I also run the ‘Seattle Sessions’ showcases at Brighton Marina in Hotel Seattle every other Thursday. These are wonderful nights and a bit more special as the performers get to play full sets.
Please do contact me if you would like to join me one night, I always love having new people !

This weekend I graduated from Brighton’s Institute of Modern Music !!! It’s been an incredible three years, shared with wonderful and talented people who I have met, worked with and witnessed their music develop.
When I started BIMM I was new to being a solo artist but the community that I became a part of fed me inspiration, support, confidence and a whole lot of fun (and alcohol!!) I cannot thank everyone enough for the difference that they Read More
