I played live today (Tuesday 9 March) on Steve Lillywhites show on Lower East Side Radio in NYC!!
I was just wandering by with a guitar, they were doing the show kind of on the street, we started chatting, i had no idea who he was, and he asked me to play! He actually plays a Benny Hill song on his show!… outstanding! You have to listen to the whole show.. no fast forward … its good though! im about an hour in.

Once upon a time a little girl baby was born to very chaotic and bohemian parents in a tumbled down cottage in a little village outside cambridge called harston. the girl baby spent a lot of time on her own roaming the flatlands of cambridgeshire while her parents had complicated hippy lives and left her to her own devices. The girl loved to sing and make up stories and one day she found an old harp left at the cottage by a travelling minstrel friend of her parents, the little girl started to make up songs on this old harp and although the harp was quite out of tune she managed to engage people and sang songs that people actualy listened to…
Years went by and the girl grew, she had many adventures along the way, and learnt to play the guitar and the dulcimer (as they were easier to carry around than the harp!) she had a little baby girl herself who started to make up songs on the piano.
Then one day…. she returned !!! to do a radio show on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire on 22nd May with Sue Marchant on air @7.30pm and then…. a gig at the Boathouse, 14 Chesterton Rd on stage 9.30pm
