Live Performance
I perform locally and sometimes farther afield – or in a field! From campfires to festivals, small clubs/pubs to larger venues, I bring a warm and easy unity with original, singalong songs that you can’t help joining in with!
In September 2022 I started Ramshackle Collective, a weekly open mic night in a local gem of a cocktail bar, the Ten to One, N15. We get an eclectic mix of comedy, music, poetry and alternative acts. I host it each week and am delighted with the community we have become!

A Little History
I started out playing double bass in orchestras, then studied Performance Arts at Middlesex University, where I began carving my niche in musical comedy.
In the ’90s I was gigging solo on the comedy circuit, and played at many Glastonbury Festivals as the double bassist in the acoustic folk-psychedelic band, The Wise Wound. (I would later get booked with my solo comedy songs in the Cabaret Tent and other stages.)
Around the millennium I teamed up with Mark Bowden (now better known as a body language expert) for a musical comedy double act.
I used to co-run comedy workshops with the late Tony Allen for many years. I’ve taught comedy on a few university courses, and played live, improvised music for physical theatre and commedia classes at Middlesex University.
In 2012 I discovered FAWM.org – February Album Writing Month – an online songwriting community that gave me the kick I needed to get writing again. At the time, I was still performing but stuck in a loop of only doing old material. FAWM changed that. I’ve written most of my songs through FAWM and its summer challenge ever since.
