My last gig was at @ccfest in January. With lockdown easing, live performances still look to be a long way off, yet there is no financial help or support available for most who work in the industry. It’s not just a way to make a living, it’s a way of life. #LetTheMusicPlay
Feeling lucky to have had a productive couple of days at @StMarysSpace studio with the lovely @AaronHJones working on my new album. Beginning to take shape!
A lovely day forgetting about politics and recording for my new solo album at the beautiful @StMarysSpace today. Slow steady steps towards lovely new music and welcoming special guest musicians over the coming month. #warmsinger #newmusic #songwriter
