Heya my friend, 

Timing. 
Tone. 
Here we are, it has been awhile!  Apologies for the gap. I'm still here. 

Creating music. 

I promise you the timing will be worth it.  The tone will be right.  Not always by my first…

Hi my friend, 

What a dynamic week!!  Snow, sleet, hail, sun, torrential rain, blustery wind, rainbows.. you name it, we've had it. 

A couple weeks ago it was beautifully mild and warm, and I recorded this sunny session with Artistic…

Hi my friend, 

I confess, I really struggle to ask for help; anything from carrying guitars and gear to mental or physical challenges.  It's a battle.  So, I'm going outside my comfort zone to ask for your help! 

Today is…

Dear friends, 

How are your hearts?? 

I've had this draft letter sat here since the start of February, and it has been re-written and not finished several times now.  All that to say, I've been thinking of you. 
Lots. 

Today…

Happy New Year, welcome to 2021! 

I meant to write to you all on the Solstice, and it passed by.  Then came and went Christmas.  Now it is the first day of a new calendar year, so I'm not letting…

I don't have any photos for you. Or little videos. Or memes. Just wandering thoughts. I was going to write about distance running, an essay I started in my head whilst driving through the winding peak district yesterday. But today…

Hello my friends, 

This morning I woke at 4am, and got hit by a wave. Two, really.  One was that I really, really, really missed hugging my friends.  I really wanted so badly to be able to hug them.  It…

Hello my friends, 

Have you been to Iceland?? 
My first and only Iceland adventure was a few years ago, and I absolutely fell in love with the place.  I have a thing for islands.  Volcanic, stark, dramatic, captivating. 

I've been…

My dearest friends, 

Thank you so much for joining me in my dining room again this past weekend!! 
I was excited to share with you that Andy Lowe has remixed Fall Away and it is now online!!

My dearest friends, 

Thank you so much for joining me in my dining room a few weeks ago!! 
I meant to play for you more often since then. 
There are so very many things I mean to do. 

Who is…

My dearest friends, 

This Sunday, I was scheduled to be playing at Bollington Arts Centre for the wrap party of the art exhibition, "Explore", by my friend, painting teacher, and amazing artist Anita van Zyl. 

Due to the extreme situation…

Hello,

Are you ready for Christmas?  People keep asking me this question lately.   My heart is ready, though logistics are so not ready!!  

The best part of the frenzy is connecting with so many people.  It’s my favourite…

Dear friends,

This past weekend, instead of performing, I sat in 4 different audiences.  I intended 5 but crashed on the last evening!  The shows were all extremely different in venue, artistic style and reach.  What is it that…

My dear friends, 

Yesterday I heard geese travelling southward over our home, and over the past week I've noticed more than one squirrel in a hurry.  As we are feeling the brisk morning air and watching our sunset slide…

Last September I played what would turn out to be my last gig with Steve. 

The venue-- The Button Warehouse.  A vegan cafe, hosting sometimes-evening events with live music, and on the night we played, Spanish tapas.  I met…

My dear friends, 

Lately I've been thinking a lot about technology as my computer is still broken!   I'm sat out in my beautiful garden in the sun, dismissing low battery notifications while I attempt to compose you a newsletter…

"Breath-taking and compelling", "Strong traces of Joni Mitchell", "Hairs on the back of my neck", "Best in Festival" ... Not my words but a lot of amazing feedback from the performance last night of The Aerynn Trio as part of…

Corroded-folk songstress Aerynn announces release of hope-filled debut studio single, “Fall Away,” a song inspired by women escaping human trafficking/exploitation in Asia, to coincide with aperformance for Leek Arts Festival (UK) on 18th May, introducing bassist Chris Cliff and fiddle…

I just woke up from a cat nap after a several hour hike through amazing bluebell-carpeted forest, a cavern-like crevice called Lud's Church, and rolling hillsides under blue skies.  I'm feeling so thankful for the warm climate and sunshine this…
