Born in Leeds, played in mud, trees and  always doing music of some sort. Now living in Cornwall with the waves at my doorstep, strumming away and after a sabbatical ready to face the industry once again.

I love studio work, being there while a bunch of people bring a song to a whole new level from the naked sweetness of just vocal and guitar, which is always revisited live. I also love how people relate the same songs to themselves for completely different reasons. Love it. I don't want to waffle, hope you get the tunes.

This was the first in a series of workshops that WCGC aim to run and provided an intro to gospel singing. Rachel Bradley, Director of Wakefield Community Gospel Choir, lead this one day workshop that taught gospel style singing - with the aim being to highlight its influence on contemporary secular pop music. In the space of just a few hours Rachel took a group of people who have never sung together before and had them working on some classical gospel songs and a well know pop song... the tracks here present some of the music that the group worked on during that day.


Heavily influenced by old skool female soul artists such as Gwen Mccrae, Ann Sexton, Spanky Wilson, Aretha, Etta James, Patti Jo, The Emotions etc etc...... Inspired to bring back grown up female vocals with true soul to slice through some of the commercialised, lifeless and over processed vocals of the moment.
