I am an internationally-acclaimed award-winning singer, songwriter, musician, poet and writer from County Durham in North-East England.
With over 250 published songs, over 1,500 live performances in over 20 different countries, a lengthy discography, and many diverse international collaborations, my experience throughout the music industry is extensive. My songwriting commissions include film themes and soundtracks, theatre projects, museum projects and touring exhibitions.
I first rose to international recoginition as co-founder, principal songwriter and frontman of pioneering folk-punk band The Whisky Priests, who gained cult status in the 1990s/2000s and influenced many artists worldwide on the current Folk and Folk-Punk scene.
I run my own label Whippet Records (established in 1988) and am a qualified and internationally experienced community arts practitioner and songwriting/music workshop leader and speaker, having delivered and led numerous workshops, lectures and seminars throughout the UK, as well as in Germany and the Netherlands. I have also worked as an artist's agent for an international folk, blues and world music agency, and as a music industry college tutor.
Continually striving to push the boundaries of his creative horizons, I am currently developing and working on a broad range of new projects, both solo and in collaboration with partners from various creative disciplines.
