AfroWelsh Connection Gigs

I’m really enjoying being the flautist for AfroWelsh Connection for a change from playing only my own songs! Though of course I’m still working on my own songs and third album.

We’ve had some great gigs mainly in Wales.

The band centres around Bunja Conteh on Kora, his wife Liz on guitar and vocals, Marc on bass, Terry on mandolin, me on flute and when he can make it, Omar on calabash (an African percussion instrument). You can hear us on YouTube or Facebook.

Here we are at a lovely gig in Brecon last week…..

Six Tracks In……

After a long gap I’m finally in the process of recording new tracks and have nearly completed six tracks in the lovely studio at St Dunstans House in Bristol. I haven’t got enough tracks for a new album but will release the tracks singly on Bandcamp – hopefully in The New Year….watch this space!

New Band etc!

Now that the lockdown is over here in Bristol I’ve been able to get out and play music again at last. I was invited to join AfroWelsh Connection as their flautist and backing singer which has been really wonderful. We’ve played several sets now at mainly outdoor festival gigs and have been asked to do several more. We will be playing in St Stephens Church in Bristol on December 13th for a lunchtime gig.

I’m also working on a few of my own songs with plans to start recording my third album in November after a long break from recording.

We’ve been able to finally catch up with family and friends around the UK and have had a few trips in the camper van at last and life is feeling a bit more normal.
