Excited to announce that I'll be playing Liverpool Sound City Saturday 5th May on the Pirate Stage (Baltic Market, 12:45pm) !! Big thanks to Pirate Studios and everyone who voted for me in the Pirate Prodigies competition!! :) Photo: Chris Payne

Had a wonderful time performing at the Manchester Cathedral as part of the Manchester Hill commemoration, organised by Brighter Sound, Manchester Histories and Manchester City Council. It was a very moving evening which was the culmination of a week-long residency in which myself, and a group of talented musicians, composed the music for the event. Pictured are some excerpts from the Manchester Evening News.

Check out my new cover video of The Beatles' "Come Together" - hope you like it!!
