Welcome...

...to my quiet little corner of the internet - around the site you can find traces of all of the various things I do, so feel free to nose about and turn over a few stones.  It's a relatively rural world, and some corners are more populated than others, but hopefully you'll find somewhere you can sit and relax. I've herded up most of the wild beasts and done my best to make it a safe place to wander, but if you come across anything that looks dangerous or poisonous let me know, and I'll send out a party to investigate. Hope to meet you somewhere for a song or a chat.

Use the navigation links above to discover more about what I’m up to…

Also, head over to the Mouthful website for other things you can get involved with, like weekly singing groups, special projects and loads more…!
