Has music always been a passion for you?
I've been playing gigs for ages. I started doing folk clubs and small gigs whilst I was a teenager in Somerset, but since I've moved to Totnes I've been able to really concentrate on my music - it's been brilliant.

I've spent loads of time reworking some new material and met loads if musicians to jam with.

What's the name of the track you've chosen to demo?
It's called "Always be there". It's one of the few songs written whilst I was at Uni in Cambridge. It's a love story I guess, but not just a love story.

Tom KerswillIt's more of an ode to modern life - inspired by living in the city - away from all those countryside things like trees!

What's your view of the current music scene?
There is always brilliant music if you look hard enough. I used to work in student radio and was amazed at the variety of stuff which never quite makes it to the mainstream.

What are the highs and lows of living in Devon?
I haven't been here that long but already I love it. It's great being 5 minutes from the open countryside - whilst living in a pretty lively town.

There's enough music here to keep anyone busy. I can't think of any lows... not yet anyway.

And the future?
I'm going to keep doing music for as long as people will listen. I want to play as many gigs as possible and live it to the full!
