Portugal has been wonderful so far! The first show was in Fabrica Braco de Prata, an amazing venue that was once a weapons factory and now an art and music centre in the port of Lisboa. Thanks Luis Reis for the photo!

 

 

 

 

 

 

After exploring Lisbon we have taken to the road to make the most of the countryside before the next show. The majestic Sintra castles a train/ride away from Lisbon, the stunning coastline of beautiful beaches and fishing villages of Ericeira, huge waves of Nazare, medieval town of Obidos and mountains of Parque National Penedes Geres. Here are some photos of the journey so far!

The closer we return to nature, the closer we become to ourselves. To stop for a moment, to breathe, to see all our preoccupations in perspective, to embrace solitude and still feel part of everything, to feel free.

Very excited to announce that this October I will be on tour in Portugal and Northern Spain! Can’t wait to explore this beautiful part of the world!

 

What a fantastic weekend performing two shows at Purbeck Valley Folk Festival in the UK! Sunshine, lovely people and some lovely responses to the shows. Even time for a jump in the sea after the event. Here’s some photos from the weekend!

I’ve had an amazing 8 months living in Gran Canaria, working on new songs, recording, performing and playing with some incredible musicians. Here’s some photos from the journey.

 

My new song País Vasco recorded for Sofar Sounds Gran Canaria. Such a lovely night!
