Hi lovely folk,
The new single 'Where Does It Hurt?' is out on 25th September and I would love it if you could pre-save the song over on Spotify here and then tell all your friends to do it too! ;-)

And next Wednesday 9th September, I'm delighted to be playing a Virtual Green Note live stream with two wonderful songwriters: Lady Nade and Misty River. You can watch it live on Youtube from 8pm - see link below:

I'm also very excited to share the video for 'Where Does It Hurt?' which I've created in collaboration with the wonderful dancers Sara Macqueen and Chris Radford. It will be premiered on 22nd September but here's a little blooper from our video shoot last week for your amusement...


Thank you, lovely people!

Stay safe.

"I’ve been sitting on my front porch, wading in the waters of justice for many, many years" Incredibly excited to share this with you! As many of you know, my new song 'Where Does It Hurt?' was inspired by an interview with veteran civil rights activist Ruby Sales on the @onbeing podcast. After I sent my song to Ruby to hear a few months ago, I was delighted that she was moved by it. She replied and was willing to have a chat with me via Skype. This is that conversation for you to read (via my website - link in bio). And there's so much to take in! We talked protest, civil rights, gender, sexuality, race, Trump, white nationalism, the violence inherent in the system, technocracy, isolation and connection. All in about 20 minutes on a Skype call! A conversation I will never forget! Thank you Ruby! #protest #civilrights #gender #sexuality #race #Trump #whitenationalism #violence #systemicdamage #technocracy #isolation and #connection #onbeing #wheredoesithurt
ICYMI last week, here's a little clip of the music video for #WhereDoesItHurt which I made in collaboration with 2 extraordinary #dancers Sara Macqueen & Chris Radford. The song is out now via all the usual digital channels! For full video and to pre-order new album via bandcamp, see link in bio. #NewMusic #Folk #musicvideo #dancers #collaboration
Anyone who knows anything about my last 6 months will know I've spent a LOT of time making acappella vocal videos - it has kept me sane ! This is a little experimental a cappella vocal arrangement of my new single 'Where Does It Hurt?' The original came out last Friday and this little arrangement has been swimming in my head for a few days. I recorded it yesterday morning in a couple of hours and decided to share it with you fine folk. It's not polished and a bit rough round the edges but it captures the emotion of the song, (I think). Full version on my youtube channel (link in bio). - - - #acappella #singing #harmony #vocalmusic #NewMusic #WhereDoesItHurt #empathy #shame #workinprogress #vocals
Playlist part 2: What would be on your playlist of songs which move you? I love a lot of different music, including plenty of music which helps me get to my innermost feelings. That's partly what my new song #WhereDoesItHurt is about (the second verse in particular!). I created a Spotify playlist called 'Fine Fine Folk' of some of my favourite songs, many of which make me cry buckets of cathartic tears. It's my artist pick on my Spotify page (link in bio) Some of the artists on this playlist, I've admired from the audience, some I've shared stages with and some I even get to write songs with! Hope there's some music here which moves you! What would be on your list? Let me know in the comments below. Feel free to share the playlist if you feel like it! - Featuring @emilybarkerhalo @devonsproule @kdlang @joliehollandmusic @karinepolwart @ruthminnikin @nancyannkerr #IngeThomson @the_dreaming_spires @songsofseparation @rheingansrowan @kateinthekettle @samparton_ @allisonrussellmusic @awnateixeira @ladynadeuk @terralightfoot @erinxmckeown @rachaeldadd @austinlucasmusic @leonardcohen @paulsimonofficial and #artgarfunkel singing a #JacksonCFrank song , @beth_nielsen_chapman @jonimitchell @gillianwelchofficial #NewMusic #SongsToCryBy #FineFineFolk #Tears #Crying #songwriters #songwriting #independentartist #spotify #folk
