During the lockdowns of 2021/22, Feeding Tube Records did a series of live Zoom gigs (Quarantunes) where artists performed from home. I played one of these on 5/9/20 & loved taking part! It 1am in the morning (for me) & 8pm for them. A lathe cut was made of the gig (pictured ).

“Her palette of distorted drones, improvised viola detail, shimmering percussion and folk melodies in various stages of deconstruction or evolution lend the album an eeriness.” Really pleased with this great review in the new @thewiremagazine.bsky.social - - Thanks to @lucythraves.bsky.social

Had such a wonderful time at Krankenhaus Festival! It was great to be given the opportunity to play some improvised viola accompanying Stewart Lee’s Pea Green Boat on Sunday. Good to see so many lovely friends & hear some amazing music. Here’s a clip of The Fire Doors’ incredible set!

A Lovely time playing at Dreamhouse Records last night. Thanks to everyone who came down! Today’s the 2 year anniversary of my dad’s death so it was quite moving to play the songs from my new album that were inspired by him on the eve of this anniversary. Video by @jasondbrawn.bsky.social .
