A little update

Hey everyone! Very excited about writing to you with an update – It’s been so long since I updated my blog on here and its been such an incredible year!

I spent the majority of it writing and gigging. I have felt very privileged to be making music that people are enjoying and the fan reaction at this years concerts was incredible and a feeling I will never forget. Myself and the band did a number of shows in the Netherlands and also did a Belgium TV performance and interview :) That can be seen here:

I was also
invited to support Tom Jones across three venues in the UK this Summer, playing to 35,000 people! The highlight was at Audley End where 15,000 people were in the audience – and I got to meet him after!


I also performed alongside Pixie Lott and The Wanted at Stoke’s Signal FM 2011 show which was a crazy 18,000!!! It was very scary but so much fun!


I have also supported my dear friend Ed Sheeran (who I visited the Hossegor Quiksilver house with last year) and have been in the studio again with some truly amazing songwriters and producers, including Peter Vettese (who produced my debut album), Jake Gosling (producer of my new EP), Dan Gautreau, Tim “T-Jay” Goodacre, Amy Wadge and the amazing Judie Tsuke. This has been fantastic experience and is setting up album number two very nicely – watch this space in 2012!
