Collaborations
LEVEL GROUND
Having spent the last few years busking and working with Fraser Harper I believe we’ve put together an interesting ‘Blues & Roots’ duo recording and have performed together in local pubs and music venues, aswell as appearaing at a few community events and festivals.
We’ve recently spent time recording an album called ‘LEVEL GROUND’ which presents some of our original songs. I hope you enjoy the music, dear friends.
