You can try and exclude us, but we will always support each other. With every knock we will get back up, and with bruised resolve we will carry on. We will not go away, or stay hidden and silent. youtu.be/KnfzmBPQLkw?...

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

I love working with words and collaborated with Jon Iles on Dracula Bite Size. Jon adapted the script and I wrote the music. We’ve performed this quite a few times live and our album is on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5Yv2D4...

I specialise in low clarinets. This is a piece I recently wrote. From Under The Sky The Sound Rises was recorded in Canada House that is the new home of Harmony Works in Sheffield. Hope that you enjoy. youtu.be/3Nl25jUJgqo?...

Goodbye X! Hello Bluesky. Looking forward to connecting with lots of music colleagues. The more low clarinets in my feed the better! 🙂
