Spend the night with me and my psychedelic pop art folk funk blues songs, rapping. poetry, candid stories, madness, vulnerability. And joy. Lots and lots of joy.
Doom scrolling, AI, the river, ducklings on the lake, OCD, shut down men, ADHD, the joy of tears… I write about lots of stuff. With exquisite heart and humour, I’ve been told.
Guitarist producer par excellence Oscar Poncell will join me for a few songs too.
‘Visionary’ – Catherine van Wilgenburg
‘Expansive’ – Emilie Collyer
