So I’ve been fighting a kind of sore throat since the weekend. It’s been just bad enough that I haven’t been able to do any ‘real’ singing – but just NOT bad enough that I still went a rehearsal last night in hopes that I could… what exactly? I have no idea. Work through it? [...]
2010 is the year of the musician! Well, for me, at least – and I’m freakin’ LOVING every minute of it… It occurred to me that I don’t usually blog about what I’m involved in, so I thought I’d take up the habit of blogging about all my musical shenanigans. That way my ‘thousands of fans’ (aka [...]
Exitproject (the band I’m in with the Ninja Butler) have decided to write and record one song a month in 2010. We’ll then release the whole she-band as an album with snazzy artwork and pictures of our smiling faces We’re going to document the whole process with pics, in-the-studio videos and blogs on the newly [...]
The Jist Some of Bristol’s finest folk musicians, storytellers and magicians gather for an evening of fine entertainment, all in aid of a wonderful cause at The Folk House, Park Street, Bristol, Friday 22nd January.

My Mom did mountains of research to source materials and my Dad worked the wood. It goes without saying that my jaw hit the floor when I laid eyes [...]
Knock knock Who’s there? A cellist. A cellist, who? A freakin’ cellist, that’s who!! The Ninja Butler and I (like all other humans, mammals, birds and bugs) love the sound of the cello. There was hardly a finer sound. So tomorrow we’re meeting up to jam through a couple of Exitproject songs with a snazzy [...]
I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this yet – what is my brain doing?? Where is my head buried?? Actually, my head isn’t buried anywhere – it’s been resting on a set of old books in the basement while my disembodied legs run down the street by themselves. Don’t believe me? – Well, we [...]
During the summer of 2008, we were offered the opportunity of a lifetime. We were asked by by the international power house, Terlato Wine Group, to apply our folktronica sounds to some jazz classics. 70,000 copies of the CD were then distributed across the United States with Santa Margherita wine, one of the top selling [...]
January came and went in a flurry of post-Christmas-get-your-ducks-in-a-row excitement! The new single arrived AT LAST (after a lot of flummoxing around with the duplication company – aka, they lost the first batch, and crushed the second batch) and we are SO freakin happy about how it turned out! Sales are going crazy and it [...]
Once there was a robot-girl. She was misunderstood because she was a machine and people thought she didn’t have any feelings or emotions. At Christmas, all her LED’s blinked red and green. And her secure wireless connection password was ‘rudolph’. And she spoke the words to Christmas carols – because she couldn’t sing. But people [...]
