This past month has been an inspiring time and I have been highlighted in two distinct publications
Recently, the Hexham Courant featured my performance at the serene Water Tower Café in Haltwhistle. This charming venue, nestled amid stunning landscapes, creates a perfect harmony where music intertwines beautifully with nature. Each note played resonates not only with the audience but also with the natural elements surrounding us.
The article captured how settings like this enhance the overall listening experience. For instance, studies show that outdoor musical performances can increase audience enjoyment by up to 30% compared to indoor shows. It reminds us that music is felt deeply in environments that embrace the beauty of nature.

The Northern Times took a deeper look into my ongoing tour, celebrating the beautiful connection between music and community venues. Each stop on the tour, from local parks to captivating hillsides, adds a distinct voice to the performance.
By exploring nature as a backdrop, I aim to connect listeners to music in a fresh and vivid way. When playing amidst trees or alongside a flowing stream, audience members often express a new appreciation for sound. Feedback shows that nearly 75% of attendees report feeling more connected to both the music and their surroundings when experienced outdoors.
Both articles reflect what I strive for in every performance: intimacy, connection, and the unique power of acoustic music in unexpected places.
Music has an incredible ability to connect individuals. When performed in harmony with nature, this bond deepens. I feel immense gratitude for every listener who joins me on this journey. It makes each concert a shared memory that stays with us long after the final note.
