I have the pleasure of spending some precious creative time in glorious Kingsbridge, South Devon with the incredible Verity Standen revelling in some vocal magic with a group of wonderful singers.

If you know Verity's work, then you will know that she loves to push the boundaries of what the human voice can do so it will be thrilling to see what she has in store for us all. If you don't know her work then go and take a peep here.

Sing For Earth Day

An evening full of music, movement and celebrations of our precious planet Earth.

I was really thrilled when I was approached by Sing for Earth day to take part in this year's online event. It's a fabulous organisation that advocates and supports 2 larger, The Earth Protector Communities and The Stop Ecocide Campaign.

Being able to do my bit for the planet as well as perform alongside some amazing singers, songwriters, poets and guest speakers is my idea of a perfect place to be.

ON RECORD: UNTOLD & RETOLD

Liverpool Black History Month - Celebrating black music.

ON RECORD: UNTOLD & RETOLD is a festival of celebration and exploration of black music and the role it has played in communities, brought to you by Culture Liverpool and Liverpool International Music Festival (LIMF).

Along with reputable Merseyside artists such as The Real Thing, The Christians, and MiC LOWRY, we are taking you on a journey through Merseyside's black music scene from the past 70 years through a truly impressive line-up of live performance, debate and film.

It was an honour to be commissioned by Culture Liverpool to compose a song in celebration of Black History Month. I wanted to create a piece that acknowledged and paid homage to a diverse range of black artists, established and emerging, who create original music from across the City Region. My piece, AMALGAMATION, is made up of some of my own original writing coupled with segments of songs by other black local artists. You will hear it performed by Sense of Sound Singers live on stage at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

You can watch it all from the comfort and safety of your living rooms, so join us for a celebration of black music - Friday 30th October, 5pm on www.limfestival.com/onrecord/
