I have just returned from a fantastic trip to South America, visiting Maccu Picchu, Buenos Aires and Rio. Three weeks of no playing, just listening and a new found love for bossa and tango. Wedding season is just about to get in to full swing and I have some great concerts lined up. …A few read more…

It’s the end of another term in my world of Jazz and after exams and lots of playing, I am getting ready for some beautiful weddings. The last few weeks have been quite chaotic but really enjoyable, from playing at a University welsh cake afternoon, to watching a fantastic harp concert with Hannah Stone to read more…

Already we are in February and the time is flying by. Since starting back at college with a new term of great music, I have been fortunate to play at lots of great gigs.

It has been such a lovely week, playing Christmas Carols at Celtic on Christmas Eve, joined by some gorgeous children. The favourite wasn’t Rudolph or Jingle Bells, but George Michael! It must be the X-factor! Christmas Day was spent playing all day and coming home to a lovely meal. Boxing day was the icing on read more…

Last night I had the pleasure of playing for Iceland’s owner at his stunning home in Chester. It was a beautiful, intimate setting topped off with the face of Iceland herself, Stacey Soloman, singing her charity single “Driving home for Christmas”……perfect for the way home.

At last, I can put the tree up and get out out my trusty old Harry Connick Christmas cds. The last three months have been a whirlwind with starting college and gigs. My course is quite time consuming but really enjoyable. Last week we had to perform our arrangements of Christmas carols in Wales Millennium read more…

It has been a crazy few weeks with starting a Masters in Jazz in the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff. Surrounded by great musicians and a great new building, life has taken a turn for new pastures and hopefully the start of a great experience. Watch this space!….

Lost chord has expanded this year to 15 concerts each month. The scheme is wonderful and takes live music to old people’s homes around Cardiff. In September, Jo Thomas and I had the pleasure of playing to so many people, many of whom were suffering with dementia and alzheimers. There were some wonderful responses, many read more…

The last few weeks have been busy with weddings and the requests keep rolling in. So far, Usher, Eminem, Beach Boys, Guns n Roses are just a few which have made it on to the harp. Some things work better than others..but there isn’t much that I won’t try…It’s quite funny when (usually men!) walk read more…

Sunday was spent in hot leathers and a helmet training on a motorbike ready for college. I’m starting an MA in Jazz in a few weeks and thought it might be a good idea to moped my way to college. It’s quite strange not to be surrounded by 4 wheels and lots of metal, with read more…
