I’ll be playing piano and a few choice synths with Warrior Monk & The Frequencies at Medicine Festival bright and early this Sunday morning. I’m excited to perform and attend this festival for many reasons, but not least because it’s at Wasing Estate. I went to a wonderful Ben Howard gig there just over a … [Read more…]

I recently had the privilege of doing an interview with writer and piano enthusiast Rhonda Rizzo about my new album, Sun and Moon, Sea and Land. I talk a bit about some of the inspirations behind the album as well as the musical journey I’ve been on with it. You can read the whole thing … [Read more…]

Today is the day my second piano album comes out. I’m really proud to share it with you all. Below is a comprehensive embed with links where you can find it.

I’m very grateful for some of the radio play the new album’s had in the last few weeks ahead of its release on the 29th of this month. Firstly, thanks to BBC Sounds for including one of my new album tracks in the latest edition of ‘The Sleeping Forecast’. I always enjoy listening to these … [Read more…]

On Saturday night I had the huge privilege of performing at the Steep 900 Celebrations, playing some beautiful music celebrating the South Downs Way by Damian Montagu, alongside The Tippett Quartet, Stewart Prosser, Dave Gale and Will Spencer. I was also honoured to accompany the brilliantly talented violinist Alexandra Peel to perform Vittorio Monti’s Czardas and Vaughan Williams’ … [Read more…]

I am excited to announce that, after many years in the works, piano album no. 2 will shortly be let loose into the world. It’s called Sun and Moon, Sea and Land and is loosely inspired by Herman Hesse’s 1930 novel Narcissus and Goldmund and that story’s themes of time passing, mortality, beauty and adventure. … [Read more…]

For the last month and a bit I’ve been working with my friend Giles Thomas on the music for Ryan Craig’s adaptation of 1984. Directed by Lindsay Posner and starring Keith Allen, Mark Quartley, Eleanor Wyld and David Birrell, the show is at the Theatre Royal Bath until Saturday and then on tour to: I … [Read more…]

It was a lovely surprise to see an email from BBC Introducing this morning mentioning that my piece ‘Among Summer Hills’ from the Evening Chorus EP I (re)released last year had been included in the latest episode of The Sleeping Forecast. This one’s theme is the summer solstice and the history of Stonehenge (“It’s killing … [Read more…]

Well, it’s time for a new single to be released, which is the fourth and possibly final track to be released ahead of my second solo piano album. I’ll be sharing the tracklist of that pretty soon. This one is called ‘Fleur 05 07 18’, named for the sunny day on which I first came … [Read more…]

I had the pleasure and privilege of performing a selection of pieces on the piano at All Saints Church, Wyke Regis, a few weeks ago. This is the third recording in the series. In as much as piano pieces can be ‘about’ anything, it’s a reflection on those ephemeral but meaningful connections that one makes … [Read more…]

It’s release day of a new track and, with it, that feeling that I’m doing both too much and not enough to get the word out there to people. What I am trying to get my head around is how relatively unimportant release day for a track is, compared to what a piece of music … [Read more…]
