My Projects

Some of my favourite collabs and work projects..

https://tindersticks.co.uk/

I have played with my most favourite band Tindersticks for 30 years as part of the string quartet and recording strings. Since 1994.. It was my first ever professional recording session at Townhouse and they absolutely wowed me musically and and I am so glad that it spurred a 30 year musical relationship! Here's to the next! 

My favourite gigs we have done over the years: New York St Anns 2002; Royal Festival Hall 2022! Touring next year Spring 2025

Founder member of Clod Ensemble in 1996 doing many shows and recordings with them over the years. Much work with musical director and faboulous composer Paul Clark. My current favourite Clod shows are the most recent show at the Barbican Centre: 'The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady' to which I was in the audience and the shows I performed in: 'The Red Ladies' and the first show ever which was 'The Feast During the Plague.'

remix of our 3head track 'Ecstacy.'
