I hope everybody's had a fantastic NY and a warm welcome in to 2025. 2024 has been a fruitful year on the Music front and I really hope 2025 can stay in the same vain!
During the last year I had 2 music releases. First my own EP ‘Light’ with Guy Shotton, Nick kacal and Alex Goodyear, three friends who helped me to fuse my influences of French 20th century impressionism with my love of standards. I’m so extremely proud of this EP and will forever hold this project close to me. With play on Jazz fm and Radio Wales, I’m very happy that I’ve been able to share a part of me with the world. The EP can be streamed from Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and Youtube (See home page)
The second recording release is my most recent feature on Dave Cottle’s album ‘Meet me back in Langland’. Now amongst the musicians featured on this CD, there’s an extremely long CV! I’m ecstatic to be featured amongst so many greats and I can honestly say this is some of my best vocal work to date. CDs can be ordered online by clicking on the link on my home page.
Then there’s the performance side, featuring theatres, venues, jazz festivals, cricket grounds, duos quartets, big bands. An upmost HUGE thank you for everybody who’s worked with me or booked me this year. You keep me doing what I love.
Now just a couple of favourite moments I’m most proud of this year, one is the 2 performances I did with Power of Gower big band because I just absolutely adore singing Big band scores! Hopefully there will be more in 2025!

Another amazing part of 2024 have been Accôrdia Choir Cardiff. We raised £529 for Rainbow of Hope charity during the Summer concert and a huge £1030 for Papyrus- Prevention of young suicide. It really is so humbling the kindness of others and i'm so proud of the choir. Raising money for Papyrus has been incredible on a personal level and i'm so very happy we were able to contribute such a donation.
Music gives so much good to the world. From performance to teaching and therapy i'm so glad I can contribute and spread that light. Wishing everybody a properous and musical 2025. Look out for shows! Thank you for all your support.
