In the news!

I can’t believe a year has gone by since I last posted here!

I was prompted to put a post up here to share the lovely surprise I had this week when I saw an article published in The Voice Newspaper all about Cornish music which featured many well loved characters such as Brenda Wootton, Merv and Alison Davey, Harrie and Carrie, Harry Glasson…and me!

If you have got good eye sight here is the article for your enjoyment! Read on for a few other highlights from the year off the top of my head!

Back in July I was thrilled to be involved in ‘Music From The Clay Country’, a celebration of the areas musical heritage, hosted by the Cornish National Music Archive at Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum. It was a fantastic afternoon of music and was a scorcher from what I can remember!

As part of this project I was also asked to write an article about my connection with the Clay Country, it’s music and it’s landscape. The article includes links to sheet music and photos to accompany some of my Clay Country compositions. You can access the article here.

This year has seen a few musical developments and explorations take place! I have done a few gigs and recordings with the wonderful ‘Teylu’. We have done all sorts from a cliff side wedding to a Cornish language film soundtrack ‘Mowes’, directed by the wodnerful Bryher Flanders

Filming with Grace Fox

I don’t want to say too much but back in September I had a wonderful couple of days filming with the very talented and very lovely Grace Fox and Rob Moth.

We were filming a video to go with a song I have written this year which will feature on a new album I have planned to start work on this year. It is a song inspired by a strange but wonderfully true story from Victorian Cornwall! That is all I shall say for now!
