Elegy for Jane — We Made The Snow Fly Upwards
This is Will and his Mum Jane. Jane passed away a few years ago. Their relationship was filled with laughter, travel and music. Will felt very, very loved. Losing her to a brutal cancer was a profound loss that he still feels.
I’ve been talking to bereaved people about their loved ones and composing Elegies to honour them. “We Made The Snow Fly Upwards — Elegy for Jane” is out now. You can stream it and download it by clicking here.
The artwork was created for Jane and Will by Colin Slee. Thank you to Colin for allowing us to use it, it really means a lot.

Introducing the Elegies project
Grief is something that will affect us all at some point, but it remains quite a taboo topic.
That’s a real shame because it makes bereaved people feel isolated, just at the moment when they may need the most support.
This creates a harmful cycle: because we don’t talk to people who are grieving about their grief, we are left badly prepared to deal with our own grief when it happens.
My project Elegies challenges this damaging taboo.

Being EP — out now
What makes a perfect summer’s day? That was the question I asked myself when I put together the tracks for my new EP, which is out now. The answers will be different for everyone — mine involve a slow start to the day, fun with friends and family, time in the water, and time with my partner Anna. The four tracks of the EP depict a perfect day and I hope that as you listen to it, you’ll find the same kind of enjoyment. Click through for more info, free downloads, interviews, and videos.
