about

Firmly cast in the classic folk/singer-songwriter mould, these songs spring from over forty years living and working in the wild hills of Mid-Wales. Now that I’m of a certain age, they’re inevitably reflective in nature, as well as being unashamedly sentimental … but always informed by the landscape that means so much to me.
