Duffield Arts Festival

Duffield Arts Festival

If you missed the Duffield Arts Festival, then you missed an amazing group of talented artists across many disciplines. It’s on each year, so set your diary for September 2019! Website here: https://www.duffieldartsfestival.com/

I had a blast performing at the event and want to thank the organisers for giving me the opportunity.

About Me

“I love music”…

It is a great way to release my creativity and passion for the sounds, lyrics and rhythm of a multitude of songs. I’ve been learning for years and have been performing for just as long, whether it’s a private event, open mic or a music gig.  I play all styles of music, although I prefer the alternative indie genre –  which may include many lesser known (but utterly amazing) artists!

I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember and it’s remained my core interest over these years, but I decided to take my passion another step forward by learning to play the Ukulele. I think the sound of a ukulele is simple and pure, yet warm and happy. I am also looking forward to introducing keyboard and guitar to my performances as I aim to become a more skilled musician.

I have written some of my own songs and hope to make some albums either on my own or in collaboration with another artist or studio!

So, if you’re looking for a hard working musician for a gig, or want to collaborate – i’d love to hear from you.
