Biography

Formerly singer/songwriter with The Notleys and Tooth and Nail, recently returned to performing at open mic poetry events. First time on stage for over fifteen years was just last week... so still very much finding my feet.

Samples

Requiem for a Daisy With callous hand I hath thee smote And left thee thus to rot Hath plucked away thine petticoat to find She loves me not 17 Straight A's One Summer's morn on our front lawn A fawn was born. We named him Shaun We had asked for a unicorn But our request was met with scorn Still, not for long were we forlorn As from a rose a thorn was torn And placed upon the head of Shaun "Behold!" we cried, "our uni-fawn!" Oh, short-lived joy, accursed false dawn As if from nowhere men of brawn Came telling tales of Devil's spawn And grabbing Shaun held fast his horn And laughed as it was roughly sawn So fragments of it now adorn The borders of our uncut lawn Disarmed and helpless little Shaun Exsanguinated... how we mourn
