Since I created Herne’s Apprentice the music industry has changed, I think for the better. The internet has been a curse to the traditional music industry, but a gift to independent musicians. Herne’s Apprentice, Hills they are Hollow and Spirit of Albion were all produced as CDs, but in 2006 they all became available on [...]

So it was that on the 10th October Cerri and I once more made our way around the M25 and headed northwards, this time towards Clee Hill in Shropshire to play at the third Serpent Festival. Clee Hill is famous for its association with serpents, so it was no surprise that, as well as musicians, [...]

Almost a month since I posted on the blog! I’ve had my head deep in recording mode – recording the last few songs, laying down the parts from the guest musicians, then mixing, and mastering, the new CD. I’ll post separately about that another time, but first let’s catch up on what’s been happening in [...]

Last weekend me and Cerri went to the Mercian Gathering near Coventry. I had a gig on the Friday night, and Cerri had the opportunity to have a stall outside our tent where she could sell some of her artwork. Last year I had strained my back so barely made it up there to play [...]

Last weekend me and Cerri travelled to Glasgow to play a concert at Pagancon. It was my first concert in Scotland for 6 years and one I was really looking forward to. The last time I played there Pagancon was called Druidcon and was a Druid-specific conference, but to help broaden its appeal they changed [...]

This year has been the Year of the Gig for me. Almost every weekend you’ll hear the sounds of Spirit of Albion, or Hills they are Hollow echoing through a field, woodland, hall or campsite. It really has been an incredibly exciting ride (and there are more to come too!), but I have been incredibly [...]

As the title says, here are three live videos from the OBOD Summer Gathering. The first is Hills they are Hollow, followed by Lughnasadh Dance, and lastly the encore of Chuck Berry’s Johnny B Goode. What a great night it was!

As some of you know I’m currently working on a new album, a traditional folk album. I’ve loved folk music since I was a child. My Dad was always playing American folk, John Denver, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash to name just a few, and my guitar teacher was Irish and taught me jigs, [...]

Yes, I think it is!
About a year ago I set up an account with Reverbnation, the main resource on the internet for independent musicians. They offer free email list subscriber forms, music players, you name it, all to help the budding indie musician find their way in the music business. The problem was I already [...]

I’d like to thank everyone who let me know that my website was down over the weekend. I’ve just had a call from my web hosts, and it seems that my site triggered an automatic shut down due to the high bandwidth and CPU usage it received over the previous 5 days. There have been [...]
