55/ Walk On - Out Now Hooray hooray walk on is now out on all your fav streaming platforms (some may be attached to the Spanish artist ferna but we are ignoring that little problem for now)I reaaaaallly hope you like this one - it’s one of two songs I have coming out loosely inspired by Coretta Scott King and wrestles with the feeling of living in someone else’s shadow, which @chris__mcc captured beautifully in the lyric vid.It began life as a simples piano ballad, got turned into an orchestra piece in 2019 and now all of that is combined with a few icy synths. Let me know what you think and massive thanks to @bbcradioscot @bbcradioulster @radionova100 for the support already.Links in bio.....#newindiemusic #newmusic #singersongwriter #popmusic #vocals #independentmusic #independentartist #indiealternative #indiesingersongwriter #newartist #indiepop #originalmusic #supportlocalmusic #newmusicalert #originalsong #belfastmusic #belfastmusicscene #independent #diyartist #northernirelandmusic #musicni #belfastmusic

PawsingGot struck down with the ol' covid shortly after my release so taking it easy in my day pyjamas, watching arrested development and unhealthily obsessing over learning the countries of the world 🌍wanted to take a moment to say a really, massive thank-you to everyone who has followed along, shared the song, had kind words to say, stuck it on the work hifi, came to my gig... word of mouth is still the very best promo & I honestly don't take any of it for granted...thank you a million.PS I am not the owner of this dog nor am i normally a dog person (I know, I know I'm the worst) but am told Bobby gave the song two paws up, so I have made an brief exception...........#newindiemusic #newmusic #singersongwriter #popmusic #vocals #independentmusic #independentartist #indiealternative #indiesingersongwriter #newartist #indiepop #indiemusic #indiemusician #originalmusic #supportlocalmusic #newmusicalert #originalsong #belfastmusic #belfastmusicscene #independent #diyartist #northernirelandmusic #musicni #thankyou

38/ Wasting is Out NowDeeelighted to say that the first single from my album is now out on your fav. streaming platforms & Bandcamp - links in bio 🙌Can't thank everyone enough who has got me to this point, particularly Stuart Reid my producer who encouraged all the wacky sounds and made the bass particularly booming, @drewlavyne who mastered the chaos in a brilliant way and all the gofundme peeps from back in 2017 who supported the making of this record !! (you might have forgotten by now but congrats here it is)This song is all about feeling unsure or unsafe to be yourself and how that feels on the inside - for all the quiet, not-wanting-to-offend people with a lot of internal feelings and things to give , this one is for you. I really hope you love it.THANK YOU for listening, it really means the world💛 So looking forward to playing it to real life people tonight beama All Points North Showcase @OhYeahCentre.....#newmusic #belfastmusic #belfastmusicscene #independent #diyartist #northernirelandmusic #musicni #newmusic2022 #indiemusic #indiemusician #newtunescomingsoon #newtunes #newmusicfridays #independentartists #newmusiccomingsoon #debutsingle #musicvideo #officialmusicvideo #freshmusicfriday #fridayvibes #officialmusicvideocomingsoon #milkman #newmusicfriday

So lucky to have the amazing on our shores @alice.eugenie - she painted all my single artwork for me. This is one little section of the beautiful canvas she made me and I think it captures the chaos and intensity of Wasting using all my favourite colours. Which by the way is out on Friday (pre-save in bio)Watch out for more from Alice who has not only painted for me but is in the middle of editing a music video for one of my singles down the line. Please do check her out!

\35 Knit and Natter Club 🧶 🧶 🧶I went to a knit and natter club in North Belfast for 3 months and during that time failed to learn absolutely anything. How hard could it be, I thought to myself? A lady called Margaret reassured me that she would have me crocheting baby blankets for premature babies by Christmas - sure she had successfully up-skilled everyone who had come through the group..."even Geraldine", with a knowing look.My lack of aptitude became apparent as the 83 year olds with arthritis began to move on to tiny hats with bobbles and booties with buttons, while I struggles to hold my crochet hook without dropping it on the floor. I noticed Margaret's face begin to darken when I entered the room. Her voice became increasingly strained as she counted my stitches (1,2,3 and oh no, back to the beginning) beside me and one .day, she asked me gently if I would 'hold her wool?'I decided then it would be best if I left before the Christmas party and maybe that was the best gift I could give them. And that's my story about knit and natter club.Do you have a disaster-club-joining story??Please let me know in comments below to help me feel better about myself and my balloon hands. Wasting video with @brokenfilmni is out this Friday 🙃.....#newmusiccoming #belfastmusic #belfastmusicscene #independent #diyartist #northernirelandmusic #musicni #newmusicsoon #newmusic2022 #indiemusic #indiemusician #newtunescomingsoon #newtunes #newmusicfridays #independentartists #newmusiccomingsoon #debutsingle #musicvideo #officialmusicvideo #officialmusicvideocomingsoon #knitandnatter #wasting

/34 Book Club 📕 📕 📕I always thought my adult self would join a book club, but as it turns out, my adult self doesn't enjoy socialising in a group and having to come up with opinions anymore than my teenage self did ---- so maybe not for me?My mother-in-law confirmed my worst fears about book clubs when she told me she joined one about 15 years ago and has to provide M&S buns or at least a tesco finest spread when she hosts (every 4 months) and sometimes has to go on weekends away and is not allowed to leave due to mysterious book club etiquette. Anyway, that's all I know about book clubs. Have you been part of one? Is it as scary as it seems? Also, did your book group read milkman ? And did you make it all the way through and what are your thoughts on it? Still from @brokenfilmni.......#newmusiccoming #belfastmusic #belfastmusicscene #independent #diyartist #northernirelandmusic #musicni #newmusicsoon #newmusic2022 #indiemusic #indiemusician #newtunescomingsoon #newtunes #newmusicfridays #independentartists #newmusiccomingsoon #debutsingle #musicvideo #officialmusicvideo #officialmusicvideocomingsoon #milkman #wasting
