Well – there are now quite a few gigs on the books – most of them for IOTA but some solo and a couple of Listen-Listen (now known as The Sandy Denny Project!) gigs. If you didn’t know I am now in a trio of me, Sally Barker and Marion Fleetwood writing and performing our own songs – that’s IOTA.

But I’m also in a band with PJ Wright, Sally Barker, Marion Fleetwood, Mark Stevens and Mat Davies forming Listen-Listen (The Sandy Denny Project) which is a band celebrating Sandy Denny songs. The connection is that I played as the pianist with Fotheringay in 2017 for JerryAid – raising money for Jerry Donahue who had a stroke. It was a great privilege to play with original members Gerry Conway and Pat Donaldson. They were amazing. The Sandy Denny Project (Listen-Listen) is a sort of split-off from that really.

So, as well as playing in a duo with Keith Donnelly doing our favourite covers, I am solo, with IOTA and with The Sandy Denny Project (Listen-Listen). Yay! Exciting.

I’m now working with my new agent Karen Atkins on putting in dates for me solo.
