Although I am essentially a solo acoustic performer, I regularly play live with harmonica wizard Paul Bamford (Empty Headed Heroes, Lotus Circle), and I was delighted to team up with musicians Stephen Ladley (the Bergeracs, Lotus Circle), Chris Sebok (Hind-D) and Kev Atherton (Empty Headed Heroes) to perform my songs at my album launch party on 27th October 2006 - a night which was heavily featured in the local press and seemed to signify my coming of age as a singer-songwriter. The ensuing album 'Closer to the Lamplight' has gone on to sell very well at gigs, and was voted one of the top albums of the year on a local music website, in what was a great and memorable year for the Blackpool music scene. I was also delighted when my songs featured heavily in an earlier 'name your favourite songs by Blackpool bands' poll in 2006. In the past year I have gigged in Manchester, Huddersfield, Accrington and Brighton, and my music has met with a such a response that shows it has appeal everywhere. After an extensive period of songwriting in the winter of 2006/07, my comedy songs (such as 'Bondy's Sunday Morning Blues') have been featuring more and more in my live repertoire. |
