New Album 28.11.25
Christmas Songs from the Kitchen Table Vol. 1 is a collection of traditional Christmas carols sung from the comfort of the kitchen table. It's a warm, unvarnished celebration of songs that have soundtracked generations.
Recorded simply with guitar and voice using analogue techniques I wanted it to feel like you were sitting around the table with me. You can hear the sound of the room and the buzz of the fridge. It's not a glossy studio album. It's Christmas the way I know and love it - real, close, and sometimes imperfect. I learned these songs through osmosis, as most schoolchildren did in my part of the world. They were sung in
school assemblies, in the church on a Sunday. They were on the radio and the TV, they just seeped into you. It's only now, as l've got a bit older, that I realise what an unbelievable canon of music we've been gifted. What great songs they are.
That deep affection for the tradition is what drives Christmas Songs from the Kitchen Table Vol. 1.
