Live @ Larmer Tree on the BBC.

Who would have thought that Sally Taylor (Radio Solent) and Johnny Walker from BBC Radio 2 would join my band...especially at eight o clock in the morning! I turned up at the Social Tent where I found Sally with bongos in hand, and Johnny walker warming up on the tambourine. I was then asked to open up The Larmer Tree Show by announcing they were both in my band.. It was such a fun time!
Here's a photo of Johnny, myself and Sally. I'll be posting the full podcast really soon.
I really enjoyed Larmer Tree. Apart from battling the rain and mud there was some fantastic music. Highlights for me was Rokia Traoré and The Dodge Brothers.
Something else I loved about this festival was all the divine food stalls and finding funky recycled clothes in the Oxfam charity shop.
I also played a slot at The Arc Stage with Elephant Talk. It was quite packed in the tent but it would have been nice to see more dancing! Over all it was a great time with good friends and doing an open mic spot with my little beat boxing mate, Zaq was a load of laughs! Might see you there again next year...

New website up and running!

Hurray! The long awaited website is here!
Many thanks to Kyleigh who designed and built this beautiful website...

So much to do, so little time!

I am sitting here watching the rain fall down the window pane, drinking a cup of tea....
It's summer in England!

I've just played the Larmer Tree Festival, and am right now in the middle of recording my debut album, making a new website, and doing a film clip!!

hang on..one thing at a time!.....

I have returned to the UK work with an amazing producer Alan 'Big Al' Hill from The Sonic Kitchen Studios on my debut album- 'Earth On An Axis'. It's going to be a collection of songs I have written over the past few years and have collaborated with some wonderful musicians who have added many textures and colours to my songs. I am incredibly excited to be independently releasing it later this year when I return to Australia.

I'm also cracking the champagne for the new website layout! Many many thanks to the brains behind it: Kyleigh and many thanks to the fantastic www.gobadirt.com for the great photos!

I've also have Valeria, a film maker creating a quirky film clip for my song 'Dragonfly' in the next month, so I will keep you posted about this mysterious project...and will launch it on youtube.

In the meantime, if you want to hear a funny interview direct from the Larmer Tree Festival with BBC's Sally Taylor and Johnny Walker and myself...just pop on the link below!

Happy Days,
