Thank you to Rebecca for inviting me into such a special celebration, and to Read on Sea for championing both authors and live music. If you were there, you made it unforgettable.

You rehearse for weeks. You pour everything into 40 minutes. And then it’s over in a blink — guitars back in cases, amps off, hugs, tired smiles, adrenaline slowly fading on the long drive home.

An afternoon and interview with Jake Peach on BBC Essex.

Grateful & Giggly

Two very different venues.

Two very different atmospheres.

The same reminder: live music in the UK is alive and well.

I’ve heard Eddy Smith perform before and he blows me away. Every. Single. Time. Plus tonight I’m playing my brand new single (out in three weeks time), I had a dream about playing a cover of ‘Landslide’ that I’ve learnt specially. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt whilst working in the music industry it’s to trust my gut, and just go with it.
