Brief FAQ:

Why this name?
I am not a 'self-proclaimed 'Bard of Ely' as has been often stated because I didn't choose the name myself but I was writing for Big Issue Magazine and they called me it. After that it sort of stuck and I liked the idea of being a Bard from a huge council estate! It appeals to my strange sense of humour! LOL
Do you play live?
Yes! All sorts of places but my most memorable gigs have been at Glastonbury Festival, which I've played at 7 times now and also been the compere for the Avalon Stage 2 years in a row.
Your influences?
Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Cat Stevens, John Lennon, Blondie, Dory Previn, Bridget St John, Beach Boys, T Rex, Bowie, The Stones, Joni Mitchell, Roy Harper, Syd Barrett, Kate Bush, The Byrds, Joan Baez, Jefferson Airplane, Sex Pistols, Donovan, Arthur Brown, Arthur Lee, Bob Marley, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Incredible String Band, REM. I love singer/songwriters and also I like a lot of different styles from Tamla through to punk! The songs must say something!
