Just released - a murder ballad I wrote a couple of years ago featuring my good friend Shannon Hynes on vocals.
I knew a young Welsh lass from the valleys and an old Highlander could make some great ‘mountain music’ together 🎶🪕🎻

Such a great evening kicking off Ace Space 2025 concert season last night in Newbury. A huge thank you to the whole team for all the hard work they put into organising these important grassroots music events. 🎶🙏🏻

Shared the stage with Isabel Rumble - who played a beautiful opening set.

Really great night with Kristel at Acoustic Alley in The Hague 👌
Lovely audience, excellent sound engineer and just one ticket short of a full house!

Quite foggy at Schiphol airport this morning so my flight home is delayed but still buzzing from last night’s show so not too bothered 😊

Very happy to see 'Dark Harvest' in the top 30 Folk Alliance International Top Albums of the Year!

Both my 'Settler' and 'Dark Harvest' albums have been so well received in the USA - I've sent more CDs to North America and Canada than anywhere else.

As always, a massive thanks to all 🙏🏻🇺🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thrilled to see 'Dark Harvest' included in both of these US folk album charts for 2024! To see a Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿/British artist in this list is pretty cool and I'm grateful to all the US radio stations and presenters who have been playing the songs and spreading the word 🙏🏻🎶
