A huge thanks to everyone for making it such a special night – Lisa, Stu, Eoin, Emily and Iain for letting me take over their home, Wholefoods, Booja booja, Pukka tea and Yogi Chai tea for the food and drink, my band for being amazing and everyone else for coming and listening!

New album launched

Posted on December 8, 2009 by admin

Well perhaps more ‘uploaded’ than ‘launched’ but what the hey… you can now hear and download it. I have just had an almond slice to celebrate.

The cd will be available in the new year, in the meantime you can order it from bandcamp and get an immediate download of the album included in the price.

It features the talents of Barbara Bartz, Iain Macleod, Joe Allen, Lawrence Williams, Ben Oliver, Beth Dariti, Madelaine Hart, Victoria Couper, Tom Pie and me. Full credits on bandcamp.
