Live

I have no live dates planned in currently

I will get some stuff organized when I have the record to promote, until then I'm focusing on making it (unless there's something cool happening)

In the meantime I might hit some buskys to try new stuff out and maybe play some MJ

Shamone!

I've played all sorts of stuff over the years solo and as an instrumentalist but highlights include

North East

Stockton Calling, Summer Streets, Waves, Split Festival, Mercury Fringe, Glasshouse hall 1 and 2, Munro, Last Train Home Darlington, Independent's 18th Birthday, Roulette, Coast Fest (because of how shit it was), The Musicians Against Child Poverty event, supported local legends The Futureheads at their annual Christmas show - all sorts of nonsense really.

I'm particularly proud of the work we've done with Stockton Road Hit Squad - we started putting on covers gigs as a way of fundraising for local causes, helping local animals and securing the future of The Bunker. Incidentally I got to work with loads of really talented musicians, and play in a lot of diverse and challenging covers sets like Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Gorillaz, and even a theatre-style production of Rocky Horror.

On tour

Played all over the place, but staying in the North would do for me like. Always enjoy Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Hull, Edinburgh. Have toured Scotland with the covers band - all the radgie backpacker hostels. Played a festival in former Soviet Germany with Patrick. Played in Thailand after bullying the instruments off a house band.
