Get in Touch

Dear Promoters. Some have told me I’m an ‘emerging talent’.

I currently perform at festivals and venues in Northumberland and Tyneside and I’m branching out to Yorkshire and beyond !

Once described as an ‘untypical songwriter’
I sing songs of ‘love, loss and country life’

​

I am so busy recording and updating the songs that i only have this quite rough compilation to use for promotion for now !  Hopefully it will give a basic idea of where i'm heading.  See a selection of vidoes on the home page.  Join me on Facebook and Instagram for more regular updates (links at bottom of page)

I’m looking for opportunities to perform in the form of ‘featured slots’ at acoustic clubs as well as regular performances in venues and at festivals. My music is entertaining while also being heartfelt.

I’m in the process of recording an album called The House of Love always Wins hear 'tasters' of the songs in the ‘basic promo vid’. This album will be finished before Christmas 2026 in time for promotion and release in 2027. I’m not currently with an agent so will be booking my own tour dates. See below for past performances and some blurb and links. Hearing is believing when it comes to this Northern talent!

In some of his songs Dan uses natural imagery drawn in from his life in the wilds of Northumberland.

Expect the bees he keeps and collie dog he roams the hills with to be used to help convey songs of love, loss and childhood memories. The songs are original sounding, quite personal yet remarkably relatable.

“You were an absolute asset to the fayre, and your music sounded particularly good outside... it seems to complement the Northumbrian air and your music carries on the breeze”
