Happeeee solstice weekend eve my peeps!!

Today I've released my latest song:

Lone Standing Stone

It was inspired by the mighty Rudston Monolith which hardly anyone has heard of, but you all should being as it's the UKs tallest single standing stone at a whopping 26ft tall!!

Check it out on Spotify and Bandcamp

I really hope you like, and Solstice blessings everyone 💜

Happeeee Saturday my peeps!

Just a quick post from me to say Heyloo and Thank you to my new followers!
I now have over 600 of you wonderful people here with me now which is awesome 😎

And I'm also getting a steady stream of listeners on Spotify!
As an independent musician just wanting to share their music with people, its so lovely to see that number slowly growing, so thanks again for taking the time to listen to my little brand of alternative pagan folk 😊💜

I also have music available on Bandcamp to purchase too.
Cheers again!

Hey hey my peeps!
I hope you are all well and looking forward to an excellent bank holiday!
I have a Friday night question for you all.....

T-shirts..,who would be in??

Considering I'm not a massively popular performing artist, the consideration to shell out for this kind of merch is huge for me.
Hell, I'm just embarking on buying a house so this isn't something I can do lightly right now, but people have asked for them previously, so....

Who would buy a 'Shell the alternative folkie' t-shirt?

This Sunday evening I've got a spot at the awesome Cottingham Springfest 26 festival in the Duke of Cumberland on the Hardwired stage thanks to Dogfinger Steve

Come along for some excellent local music, across loads of stages all weekend!! 😊
