    Hey all you lovely folks.

    Welcome to 2013! Hope January has been treating you well. I've been having a bit of a chill after the crazy run up to to Christmas! Last year was a very busy year with memorable highlights.

    07/12/2012

    Finally finally the new project is in production! I'm so excited to share new songs with you. I'd describe the new album as a mysterious journey into the unknown and out into daylight on the other side. There are lots of hints towards famous folk tales with themes of poisoned apples, Kings and Princes, cherry coloured coats and sailers lost at sea. I like to search for the meaning behind a story. This project has allow me to write in my own meanings!

    I've always loved story time and this is my own collection of tales. Read More...
