I am a songwriter/singer/guitarist and draw my inspiration from the hills and valleys of Northumberland, Holy Island and the stories of folk from years past.
My roots were put down initially in the Railway Hotel, Portsmouth, a folk club in England. Youngest of three children I grew up in a musical family and soon took to learning guitar. Actually my dad refused to carry the double bass I wanted to play in the car - a wise choice in the end!

Song writing has always been a part of me and no matter how convinced I am that the latest song is the last song, there is always another and then another waiting patiently.

I moved to Northumberland in the mid-1970's and was at once captivated by the countryside and the far horizons. It has become very much a part of my life through hill walking taking in its atmosphere and truly inspired scenery.

My first CD, 'Bless by an Angel' in 1999, really tidied up and put together thirty years of past song writing, closing the door on a chapter of my life. Once it was published I felt free to pursue my real inspirations within Northumberland, the beginnings of which are shown in Northumbria's Pride (2000) and Walk With Me (2001). In particular Holy Island has been a special place and it is hard to express it in a song, but I always look forward to its special atmosphere. Streams of Life (2003) and Pools of Light (2004) compliment this series of CD's.

Both 'Northumbria's Pride' and 'Walk With Me' are moving towards the especial completeness within song writing that musicians look for. I am now more comfortable within my guitar style and feel that the closeness to this land, its stones and heritage comes through.

The latest CD In the Blood features songs and tales by Northumbrian author and storyteller David Adam and is a departure into folklore. It also features two songs by my sister, a poet and songwriter.

I play at various festivals & folk venues throughout the year and have appeared on National and Local radio and television. I particularly enjoy appearing at the Alnwick International Music Festival where so many diverse cultures and musical backgrounds come together.

My spare time is spent song writing and working for a living.
