Hiding from the world & obsessing over all the details of composing & recording my new album. It’s a long time overdue so I hope you’ll like it. In the meantime here’s some stills from He Comes in the Night. The whole thing is on YouTube, if you feel like cosying up with a small, eerie song.

What a tough end of the year that was. This time of the year is always very tough to get through, but this one was the very worst - and I know a lot of people are feeling the same. So very glad to turn my back on 2025, and get back to the trees and to my faithful acoustic guitar.

Today's little wander around the periphery of #exetercathedral .

This is our #topnine most liked posts of 2025. During 2025 we released: a new album; a newly remixed, remastered and expanded album; an e.p.; and four three track singles. But, given the top nine, they seemingly didn't resonate with Instagram. See you in 2026 for more music!

This afternoon - a river walk along the Otter.

It's cold out there today, but the trees have done me the world of good. #woodburycastle

This afternoon in the sun. #sidmouth
