Delighted to be graduating next week with a FIRST CLASS in Traditional Music from Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Here’s accurate photographic evidence of my emotions. 🎉🥂

It’s been a long four years of burning the candle at every end, balancing work and university commitments and pulling some very questionably travel arrangements to make it happen!

In other words, I’m looking for folk club bookings.

TEACHING DAY! Delighted to be returning to Dee and Don Ceilidh Collective to teach song at their next ceilidh day in Glenbuchat on 22nd June!

Registration starts at 10am at Glenbuchat Hall with the first workshop sessionat 10.30am. Some of the workshops are in homes around the glen. The teaching stops at 4.30, but we’ve started having a short performance, one item from each of the groups in the hall, before we move on to the evening events.

There’s still places in the singing class. More info: www.deedonceilidhcollective.org.uk

There’s a great line-up of tutors including Adam Sutherland, Charlie Mckerron, Lucie Hendry, Steve Garrett and Jackie Ross.

 

Myself and Furness Tradition festival have something in common, we both turn 21 this year! I’m delighted to be bringing the trio to this festival in July. More announcements for upcoming shows coming soon! 💫 furnesstradition.org.uk
