Joined onstage by Paul Tierney and Gareth Hughes on Electric guitar and Bass, the band will play songs from his first album 'Life In Motion' (2017 release) and a selection of new material which will be on the forthcoming 2nd album. The album has had continued success with fans and industry alike being played on radio shows across the UK and Ireland including Tom Robinson's 'Introducing...’ show on BBC 6 Music.
