I am really looking forward to playing at a local Church, Holy Trinity Church in Hurstpierpoint, on Saturday 20th May to promote my new album, ‘The Wood Wide Web’. I saw Mike & Reina Reinstein perform in this beautiful church, at a previous Music & Wine Evening, and the acoustics are wonderful.
I will be talking about the stories behind the songs on ‘The Wood Wide Web’ and what drove me to write them. There will also be a “quiz” with prizes! Doors open 5.30pm for a 6pm start.

Thank you Shoreditch Radio…

“Warm, tender and completely absorbing, this album showcases beautifully the band’s particular brand of acoustic folk, seamlessly dovetailing the traditional with the contemporary, while intricate guitars and strings and Ian Roland’s characteristically breathy vocals create a wonderful intimacy. Beautiful.” Indiesonics
