2019, Thanks for the Memories

Thank you #2019.

There were some real highs last year, as well as always, a few lows. But overall, it's been an amazing journey.

Some of the highlights? A variety of writing adventures, The Ivors award ceremonies, being involved in industry committees as well as panels, performing, campaigning for songwriters and musicians rights, as well as for women in music (and actually making some headway!) and the Labour Creative Industries receptions to name but a few.

I’ve met and worked with some amazing people, some of them musical heroes, and made some wonderful new creative friends. The results of some of these partnerships you’ll get to hear this year in the new songs I’ll be releasing!

To all those in the above collage and more, it's been an absolute joy to work with you. I look forward to more adventures in #2020.

So what’s next?

Well this year will see the launch on the Patreon page, just in time for this years releases.

Releases? Yes! Four songs this year. One for each season, collected and curated under the title of ‘Mass Destruction’ EP. Each song will be accompanied by a visual aspect, and each one features a special guest writer, or performer. Starting with Anarchy which has been co-written and co-produced with Richard Lightman.

I’m also finally branching out into fully producing my own songs. A slightly scary step, but I’m particularly proud of these new songs and feel it’s time to finally ‘take the plunge’. The second song in the quartet, Stormy Daughter, written with Labour MP for Cardiff West and shadow Arts Minister, Kevin Brennan, will be the first of these.

This, and there’s more to come. Exciting times! I hope you’ll all continue to join me for the ride…

Thank you all as always for your support.
