MY DEBUT ALBUM IS OUT!
I can’t believe this dream is now a reality. Thank you to every single one of you who has been part of this album, especially my producer
@BRyderJones
and my manager
@moonagement
. Alas the word count stops me there, but please know that I am so grateful✨
So sad to hear of the sudden passing of
#TerryHall
. Some of you may know one of my earliest covers was Ghost Town by
@thespecials
(still play it!). Hugely infuential and a musical hero. This is from another era of his work. Thinking of you Terry ❤️.
This has blown up a bit on my Instagram and I’ve had loads of people messaging me to say they’ve faced similar issues.
What are your experiences of prejudice because of your accent or the way you speak?
WE MADE IT TO THE
@officialcharts
!!!🎊
All thanks to you beautiful people my debut album ‘Between the Moon and the Milkman’ has hit the charts and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful. No major label involved, just pure grassroots support. Thank you❤️
Sooo tonight I randomly heard Dublin Serenade on
@BBCRadio2
as I was putting my leftover dinner in the fridge!!!
Thanks to
@themarkrad
for the spin and giving the album and tour a plug. He’s been such a champion of my music since day one and I’m so grateful ✨🎶
Number 15 in this month’s Official Folk Album Charts! 😭🖤🍾⭐️
This has long been a big dream of mine. Can’t believe I made the top 20 with my debut record! Thanks everyone who has helped make this happen, especially you lot the listeners.
Had a brill time signing records at my
@hmvMiddlesbro
instore performance. Pretty surreal seeing my big moon head on the shelves (and yes, I took every opportunity to point it out to everyone - I’m that unbearable).

I’m absolutely elated to finally share that I have been selected as a Tees Valley Artist of the Year 2024!!!
So grateful to
@TeesValleyCA
for believing in me & providing me with this groundbreaking opportunity. Excited to share the journey with these 4 talented creatives. 🌟
Deeply saddened by Steve Harley’s passing. It was a dream come true to support him on tour and perform on stage with him. Steve played such a pivotal role in the early days of my career and was a lovely man both on and off stage. Thank you for the music & memories Steve x
I passed first time!!! 🥲🎉🚗
I once deemed learning to drive impossible for an anxious soul like myself but it proves that if you persevere, you can achieve anything you want!
Ready to hit the road, write some travel-based songs and relieve
@moonagement
of taxi duties.
My debut album will take flight at midnight tonight 🖤🕊️🌙✨
I’m in London to record something mega exciting tomorrow morning (all to be revealed) so I might be a bit MIA on release day, but I promise to catch up with your messages after. Eeee!

I’m really not tech-savvy but I’m always up for a challenge, so my 2021 resolution is to become a home recording whizz by next year🥸 & putting it here in writing so you can hold me accountable...

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven’t been around much. I find social media overwhelming at times and need good long breaks. I really appreciate all the support for my music though. I’m still learning to juggle (metaphorically speaking) New music and live dates coming soon! x
A dream come true to hear that Perfect Storm was played on the
@themarkrad

Thank you both - feeling extremely grateful and lucky. What a way to start the weekend!

A week ago today Dublin Serenade was released. CHEERS to that, and cheers to all of you. I’m blown away by the response - keep sharing and streaming away.
Got a few things lined up and new music that I can’t wait to share. It’s going to be an interesting journey, I promise.

Just found my diary from when I was 10 years old. Here I had listed my ‘top 10 wishes for the future’. Some of which have thankfully come true. (I’ll let you guess which.) How many of these things have you lot completed?

The lady I lived with in Russia, who used to constantly ask why I wasn’t married, just messaged me out of the blue to ask if I’m married yet. We haven’t spoken in about 2 years.
Good to see she’s still holding out hope for me.
Bright eyed, bushy tailed and dressed like Arsene Wenger en route to my first gig of the year and it’s an international one! So excited to visit and play in

Brimming with song ideas at the moment. Not saying they are good song ideas, but I’ll take anything at the moment 😅 Very happy to have regained a sense of creativity after what felt like a stagnant few months.
Pleased to reveal that my forthcoming EP ‘the ebb and the flow’ will be with you on the 1st April & you can pre-order it now!
This is my first ever collection of all original songs so it’s a special release for me. I can’t wait for it to reach your ears.

I wrote 'Please Go Gently' this time last year. I was going through a period of big change in my life. I had suffered the loss of a lifelong pet, and shortly after, my wonderful Grandy also sadly passed away. He was my hero 💔
