I am a singer and multi-instrumentalist. My initial incarnation was as a           wyrd/psych-folk singer-musician, and saw my debut solo album, Wednesday’s Child, released in  2010. Subsequent (unreleased) solo albums include self-penned material alongside an eclectic mix of covers from various genres. 

I have gigged and/or recorded with Elowen, The Rowan Amber Mill (album releases include 'Midsummers', 'Heartwood' and 'Folk Devils and Moral Panics' ) Corncrow (album releases include 'Sweet Nightingale' and 'So Brightly Shining') The Atwood Machine, Mats Bergman's 'Burnt More Bridges Than Cross The River Thames' vinyl release, Dead Melodies 'Murken Hollow' and featured on various collaborations; releases including Dark Britannica's We Bring You A King With A Head Of Gold and Rif Mountain's Echoes From The Mountain, all widely available .

The lockdown gave me ample opportunity for music to be made at Wyrd House Studio. Back to my folky roots, and after a 10 year hiatus, The Rowan Amber Mill released a mini-album 'Among the Gorse To Settle Scores', ahead of the full-length 'Golden Strings To Tether The Sun'.

Vancouver singer-songwriter Leah Abramson and band (AKA The Abramson Singers) is influenced by American old-time music, classic songs of the 60s and 70s, and indie-rock. Writing quirky, catchy and beautiful songs about surprising topics such as truck drivers, old maids, the oil sands and the famous Canadian rebel Louis Riel, Leah is a heartbreaking and captivating storyteller. The UK’s fRoots and Maverick Magazines gave the band’s debut album four stars, and they have just recorded a second album, begun during their artist residency at the Banff Centre with Howard Bilerman (Arcade Fire) and Tony Berg (Jakob Dylan) and finished with producer Colin Stewart (Dan Mangan, Black Mountain). Their new album, "Late Riser" will be released in May 2013.

Steve Knightley and Phil Beer are widely acknowledged as the finest acoustic roots duo in England. Knightley, who writes most of their inspired material and Beer, a dazzling multi instrumentalist, have built up a huge following which has seen them sell out the Royal Albert Hall three times, headline major festivals from Glastonbury to WOMAD and playing all over the world, from Europe to America, Australia and India. Voted Best Live Act by the public at the 2004 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, the jury is still out on just what kind of music they play.
