Keep On Your Dress (Pigeon Detectives Cover)

Have covered this song for some time now but decided to take a different approach to playing it and recorded completely live, with a very simple setup.
Also this was done on the first take, really wanted the recording to be a genuine, unperfected, just me really. Hope you enjoy!x

California Girls (cover)

Recently went up to a lil' studio to do some vocal sound checks for some session work and came away with some clear basic tracks, showing purely what I sound like unplugged! Enjoy friends but mostly for venues and people that may want to book me

Recorded this one a while a go and this song is 6 years old now, but this is the most recent recording I've done. Sounds extra sweet as played on a Lowden guitar.

'Crossroads' By Bess Howard-Baker and Bimm Classmates

I wrote this song back in Feb 2012, around valentines I think. Liked this melody for ages so you may recognise the chord progression etc. It's a bedroom recording, with some decent mics and was recorded by my friend Nic Watson of Four Fish Studios.

Wearing Your Shoes

Did this as a request from my lovely girl Jasmine. It's not perfect but it's a cover so whatever. Hope you enjoy x

Pyro (Kings of Leon Cover)

I have such a wide passion for music in general and love creating musical madness with those more experienced around me, so on my own take influence from that. At the moment I enjoy gigging alone and more so with bands and recording rough, atmospheric and jam videos, whatever really involves making awesome sounds
