I began playing the guitar and writing songs at the advanced age of 52, but have more than compensated for the late start! Raunchy, romantic, poignant, humorous, my subjects range from shipwrecks to stalkers; from the perils of punting to that awkward situation where you discover your lover's name sewn into the back of his underpants.....

“Always intelligent, and often exceedingly funny”
​Royston Folk Club

“The songs are intelligent, articulate and well-crafted”
​Essex Folk News

“Bright rhyming and upbeat quality give the lyrics a false sense of happiness”
​Beatnik Events, London

As well as the gigs listed on the Events page, I often play at informal local music sessions – please see my Facebook page for what’s going on week to week:
