Update Amongst these Strange Times

I timed the release of my latest Summery-feel single ‘Stay’ pretty badly! Yikes, what a strange few months! I hope everyone is staying safe. Despite these strange times, since my last post, ‘Stay’ has had even more support from various music critics, music lovers, and radio shows, and I am very grateful.

After ‘Stay’ was broadcast on my local BBC Introducing in Lancashire show three times, the Easter Saturday Afternoon show on Radio Lancashire show also broadcast it! Amazing. It was also broadcast on Bombshell Radio, Lone Frequencies, and Trust the Doc (voted as ‘Track of the Week’ by the public (also featured on the blog & TV Show)). Thanks to the numerous fans and supporters who have listened to ‘Stay’, added it to their playlists on various platforms, and/or told their friends/family about it! So much love. Thanks again to Jammerzine, Eat this Music, The Music Below, and Permanent Rain Press for featuring ‘Stay’ on blog posts and socials.

In other news, I uploaded 2x videos to YouTube recently. The first one was a cover of a Joy Division song (Decades) that I performed with my band during my headliner set at Factory (Manchester) last October

The second one was a lyric video for my new single ‘Stay’

In other, OTHER news! I picked up drums (learning of) about a month ago and I’m really enjoying the journey. I’m learning lots about different techniques, drums voices, and beats, and can’t wait to learn more. I’m following the Rock School syllabus as a guide and various YouTube videos for hints and tips. I’ll probably start sharing clips at some point! I’m practicing on an electronic drum kit at the moment, but looking forward to playing on an acoustic kit in a rehearsal space soon. I’m hoping to pick up guitar and keys again, exercise my voice and writing skills… I just need to get back into routine and find the time from somewhere! Exciting times.

Thanks for reading and bye for now 🙂 Take care xx

Trust the Doc Feature

It’s always exciting and heart-warming when music lovers and bloggers go to great efforts to research my background and music and share with their followers. So it was a delight to find out I’d been featured in another blog, this time Trust the Doc!

Check out the awesome feature below:

This news followed on from narrowly missing out on Fresh on the Net’s Fresh Faves, which I was gutted about but delighted in equal measure that ‘Stay’ had been received so well by the Fresh on the Net’s moderators and voters on the listening post.

I am heading back into the studio in October to record a new Synth-Pop tune – I’m very excited. ALSO IN OCTOBER, I’ll be performing at a very special live event in Manchester (more details to follow soon). Amidst the excitement, I’ve decided to update my profile and cover photos on my social media links. Looking forward to sharing the new track with the world soon, and performing again with the band.

YouTube Updates

I have finally got around to updating my personal YouTube channel. So far, I’ve uploaded all the songs off my debut studio EP ‘Don’t Let the Bad Seeds Grow’ into a playlist, which can be found here:

Two songs off this EP (Blue Sky and No Other Fish) were broadcast on BBC Radio 6 and ALL were broadcast on my local BBC Introducing station several times. I hope you enjoy listening to it!

If you enjoy what you hear, the songs can also be played on other platforms such as SoundCloud, Spotify, iTunes, Google Play, Deezer, and so on. Thanks for visiting my post.
