✨ East of the Sun is Out Today! ✨
Inspired by the fairytale East of the Sun, West of the Moon, my new single explores what happens after the fairytale — when a heroine who has sacrificed everything rewrites her own ‘happily ever after’.
🎧 Listen now on Hudson Records
☀️From the forthcoming album Dominion of Spells, out 1st May on Hudson Records
I’m excited to announce that my new single is out in the world, from my forthcoming album Dominion of Spells. Fox’s Song has just been released on Hudson Records, the brilliant indie label run by my friend Andy Bell, who lives just down the road from me here in Sheffield. I’ll be taking the song out on tour this week, with dates around the UK previewing the new album.
As March fast approaches, I wonder if you’ve heard that I’ll be heading out on tour for the first time in an new line up with the brilliant Louis Campbell (guitar) and Lucy Revis (cello)?
We’ll be performing songs from my forthcoming album Dominion of Spells, along with a selection of favourites from my three songwriting albums, reworked especially for the tour. Expect old stories, new music, and layered harmonies, guitars, banjo, piano and strings.
For a first taste of the new music, you can listen to my latest single, Turn Again, out now on Hudson Records.
I’d love to see you along the way!
The new video for Turn Again, the first single from my upcoming album Dominion of Spells, is OUT NOW!
Written for my son and his imaginary shapeshifting games, the song draws on the folk ballad Tam Lin, where an enchanted knight asks his lover Janet to “hold me fast and fear me not” as he transformed into monstrous shapes. Her unwavering embrace breaks his spell. Turn Again reframes this image through the lens of parenthood
I’m excited (and in honesty a tad nervous) to announce the launch of the Kickstarter campaign for my new solo album, The Dominion of Spells.
This project features songs of metamorphosis, magic, and midlife, where selkies, owl goddesses, and fairy queens guide a quest for wonder. With your support, I hope to bring the album into the world in March 2026, alongside a vinyl edition and a companion book that includes retellings of the stories behind the songs.
After recently experiencing two fake AI “album releases” in my name, I’m more determined than ever to share the real album — one that celebrates human connection and the power of thoughtfully crafted storytelling and song.
You can read more and support the campaign via the link below. It’s a bit nerve-wracking to ask, but I’d be grateful if you’d take a look — and share it with friends if you feel inclined. Thank you!
The Furrow Collective head out on tour next week!
To celebrate 10 years since the release of our first album we will perform a selection of songs from their decade of collaboration. As well as favourites from their back catalogue, the band will share songs from our new album We Know by the Moon, a lunar-themed album of songs set after dark:
"The moon, the stars, darkness and night are threads woven through these songs.

I’m delighted to be part of ‘Sea Song Sessions’, a collection of British maritime folk songs and sea shanties, performed Jon Boden, Seth Lakeman, Ben Nicholls , Jack Rutter (and yours truly).
We celebrated the release of the album of the same name in September 2022 on Topic Records with a run of on-board and harbourside performances which we sailed to and from by ship! We are now reuniting for a short run of shows inland, and in venues, to perform songs from the Sea Song Sessions and more.
