A Personal word … Many people have asked me why I took so much time off from live performances;curious to know what had I been doing .Well, from 2005 to 2010 I directed several,long term, Music and Video Community Arts Projects in Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.I loved doing this and I am still passionate about the role that community arts and healthcare can play in our society. I missed performing and writing songs and in 2011 made a conscious decision to devote more of my time to writing songs and performing . The folk scene in the UK is a vibrant and friendly community. It clearly is in my soul and I look forward to meeting up again with the many friends I have made over the years.
