New Single + Full Band Gigs!
So, some new music then!
I’ve had the strangest thing the last 18 months or so, basically we made the music I always dreamt of, and then…the crash.
It’s one of the few problems in life in recent years that I haven’t been able to move past, just the feeling of not being able to go again, like dipping a toe in cold water before heading off in the opposite direction.
However, my friends and I have made some music I’m incredibly proud of, and the time of it sitting in some cloud is over.
Part of getting past this inertia has been to change my name as such, so rather than releasing under my name, the project is called Like Ribbons. Part of that has been to put together a fantastic band, who are really starting to find our feet with a gig and festival under our belts now. It also means we can do more on the design side, and I really want to play around with some clothing.
We’ll be heading to The Bedford, Balham on Thur 11th May for a headline set, then on Tues 6th June we head up to North London for a performance at the Pizza Express Jazz cafe. Both fantastic venues, especially for sound quality, and both will bring you excellent pizza while you watch us!

Big thanks to Jamma Music for hosting us for both of these.
I’m planning on putting out a new song every six weeks (indefinitely), and we’re going to start with Fading Light (YouTube May 1st, streaming mid May). It’s a song about the kind of feelings I was describing at the start of this, the feeling of can you go again, or has something changed and been lost forever?
Where do you run?
Where do you run and hide?
Out in the wilderness of the second best,
Am I chasing a fading light?
In the meantime, I would both love it and appreciate it if you could either,
A - Book a gig ticket?
Or
B - Subscribe to my YouTube in prep for Fading Light

Huge thanks, this is my absolute favourite thing to do and it’s amazing how supportive people can light the spark.
