| Time: 7:30pm. Admission: £10 adv. Age restrictions: All Ages/Licensed. Address: 109 Oldham Street. Once upon a time, or maybe twice… Earlier this year, I performed my album Heirlooms & Hearsay in full at the beautiful Kings Place in London.

I’m thrilled to let you know that I’m performing my album in full together with my brilliant band at Gullivers in Manchester on Sunday, November 10th (presented by the lovely people of Red Balloon Music). I’ll also play a few of the new songs at the end of the show, can’t wait to share them with you! Buy Tickets | |||

It’s just as well I’m currently reading Amanda Palmer’s ‘The Art Of Asking’, otherwise I wouldn’t know what I was doing here. I’m in Cromford (“Not gonna lie, sounds grim”, someone texted me on my way). In fact, Cromford is far from it – a beautiful sleepy village close to the peak district with one …
