MY DEBUT ALBUM IS OUT NOW! ‘Valley Of My Dreams’ has been let loose into the world. I hope you all enjoy it. It was recorded in the Autumn of 2022 at The Barn Studio. When I was 10 I wrote my first song and formed my first band. At school as a teenager I would be writing lyrics and dreams in my homework diary at the back of class. At 15 I got my first ever 8 track home recorder. In sixth form I would spend lunch break practicing in the rehearsal rooms. At uni I started playing live properly. Then my 20s was a decade of hard gigging, playing in different bands, loading up cars with guitars and amps, recording singles and EPs, running folk clubs and working all sorts of jobs to keep the dream alive. Now here we are with ‘Valley Of My Dreams’. It’s an extraordinary day! . Thank you to the band and everyone who made this possible. I’ll be doing another post about each individual member but thank you so much @gus__white @acontheweb @2bukchuk @samcrooksmusic @nickcjsmith @izzymorshead @edwardcross_music . . If you enjoy the album then send it to your friends and family. Give the record a spin and see what you think! What a day! . . #album #valleyofmydreams #newalbum #newmusic #folk #folkmusic #folkmusician #folksinger #londonfolk #londonfolkmusic #folkclub #londonmusic #londonmusicscene #singersongwriter
