Hi there - it's been a while since I last dropped round to your page. I have been listening to your most recent album a lot and got ideas from it for my own songs. My news is that I've been invited to play in this year's London City ShowCase festival on June 3rd. I am really excited about it and wanted to drop by and mention that your songs have been a real inspiration to me from the beginning, so thank you!C xx
