Tomorrow, I say farewell to Vinnie * of whom I have been custodian for the last few years and who has been one of the few constants in my life in that time. He goes to a new home tomorrow so I wanted to sing a little song for him to say ‘thank you’ for the music ☺️

Thank you for lending him @katie_claz ! Sorry about the dodgy E!

Today, I have mostly been shouting ‘Apple Z, Apple Z!’ as I climb this steep learning curve... feels good to be making though!

Last week, I started making a sketch gratitude page every evening. I’d highly recommend it! It brings a warm feeling to my heart! ☺️

If anyone wonders where I’ve got to in the next few months, you’ll probably find me here... lost in reverb!

BIG THANKS to all the wonderful radio folk who played 'Darling, Dear Darling' on air recently.

As a self-managed, independent artist, it means a huge amount, especially in this strange, gig-less era.
Please know that you are appreciated greatly! :-)

This is the brilliant @franmillicans - theatre-maker and creator of the 'Stories to tell in the middle of the night' podcast (find it on all the digital platforms).

We sat down for a chat about our devising process for the 'Worryface' work-in-progress in which she acted as dramaturg and from which 'Darling, Dear Darling' sprang (all funded by those lovely folk @the_efdss ).

However, as often happens when we chat, we got distracted by birds!

(The actual intended conversation will follow at some point)

As is my way, I've made a little acappella sketch of 'Darling, Dear Darling' to celebrate a week since it came out.

The song is about being admitted to hospital exactly 4 years ago today and about the process of getting diagnosed with FND.
