My sincerest thanks to everyone who came out to one of my Christmas concerts. They were so beautiful and not surprisingly, exactly what my soul needed after losing my mother at the end of November. I'm not one to shout about things, so many of you may not have heard, but I was deeply touched by the countless messages of love, support, and blessings I received throughout late November and through December.
It's been incredible to experience the power of music and the voice in helping me work through my grief. The music, along with such wonderful audiences and my amazing band and crew, carried me through the December dates. I'm afraid I wasn't able to share my usual stories onstage during the shows, as many of them are so closely connected to my mother and it all felt too raw, but it didn't make a difference, the shows were simply amazing!
Throughout that period, I was also thinking of anyone else who has lost someone they love at that time of the year, when everything around us is about coming together and being merry. And yet, with a new year comes so much hope and promise. In my extended family we have also welcomed two new babies within days of losing Mammy, and they have brought with them so much happiness and excitement, lighting our way forward. And as I sit here, wondering if snow will fall in Somerset today, I’m filled with gratitude, and reminded that just as everything passes, there is always more to come.
And so to the concerts I have coming up in 2026. We have just three COMING HOME shows, including a very, very prestigious one in Cadogan Hall in Chelsea (home to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra). There have also been some last minute DUO shows added. Read on for more info and remember - BOOK EARLY.
As always please keep showing your support by sharing my emails and following me on Facebook, Spotify, YouTube, X, and Instagram. Add my music to your streaming playlists, and most importantly TELL YOUR FRIENDS — it genuinely makes all the difference!

I only have three COMING HOME shows this Spring in St Georges, BRISTOL which is a regular favourite of mine, Theatre Royal , WINCHESTER in which I haven't performed in many years, and my very first visit to Cadogan Hall in LONDON, home to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
I know they will be very special and particularly poignant since my Mammy's passing, but I also know that they will bring me closer to her in every single way.

What can I say. This years tour was the best I can remember and I would have been lost without it. Sam and I had such a good time performing the set again and we're thrilled some of the new songs were such a hit. It's always a total joy to get together with the other band members and crew to do this every year.

I've still been getting feedback from people who are discovering my music for the first time thanks to the BBC's hit police drama Blue Lights. You're very welcome and I'm thrilled you've subscribed to my mailing list.
Sam and I were very moved when our version of The Parting Glass was used in its entirety for a very powerful scene in Episode 4. In fact, the whole episode is called The Parting Glass and the scene begins at approximately 55:30 into the episode. I recommend having a tissue at the ready if you watch it.

For the first time in ages my online store now has ALL my CD titles in stock. Many have been out of stock for a number of years, including A Thousand Hearts and Hill Of Thieves, and this was something we wanted to remedy.
Please take a look and fill any holes you may have in your collections.
Also, there are currently still great savings to be had when buying either the Collector's Edition, regular edition, or bundles featuring my book — perfect for these quite and dark winter months in front of the fire.
