Dear folks, My What’s on page is looking quite full at the moment! There are the weekly slow sessions which I always look forward to. Plus Campbell’s Ceilidh is starting up again in October – delighted to confirm. Admittedly, most events are still happening online but there’s also now the odd live gig, such as Glad Cafe in November, to look forward to. Hopefully there’s something in my diary that will be of interest as we move deeper into Autumn. More info below. Take

Dear folks, Doune the Rabbit Hole Festival has been cancelled. I was looking forward to it, but hopefully it will go ahead as planned next summer. So my first in-person gig in a while will now be as part of the Edinburgh Fringe. It’s on Friday 20th August at the Acoustic Music Centre and hopefully folks in Edinburgh can make it along.

My InsideOut Musician classes are so fun, and the ceilidh’s a dream.  This Thursday night we have our monthly InsideOut Ceilidh. Please come and support our new venture and listen

Hello friends,  I like to think we’re in the back of the Winter (as Karine Polwart puts it in her gorgeous song ‘Follow the Heron’). Life is pretty good. Lockdown on Lismore with its palette of online musical activity and being outdoors is working a treat. Coming up over the next few weeks, there are classes and albums on their way, a new series of Voice and InterPlay classes, slow sessions, fiddle classes and of course our beloved Campbell’s Ceilidh.

Hi folks, I’m happy to announce I have some workshops and classes just around the corner! Lift your spirits, find focus and make music with me! Live, online.

Hello folks, Welcome and I hope this finds you bearing up well. I’m having a surprisingly creative and enjoyable second wave. All these amazing creative and healing folks are going online, offering the kinds of meetings that I’d have loved to have done but distances and money would have made impossible. Now they’re happening online. I’m doing some writing courses and viola lessons myself and offering some courses that you might like to take. I’m also delighted to find out
