I am a performer and composer based in Norfolk, UK. I run my own record label and have released four albums on it. I have toured widely throughout the UK and beyond. I explore the space between ancient, improvised and experimental music.

I live on the edge of a field backing onto a wood, and draw inspiration from my surroundings as well as medieval, baroque, cutting edge contemporary and traditional folk music. I research, play, improvise and create new music from fragments, letting an old world breath alongside a new world.
