Hello!


Welcome to Sing for your Supper. For thousands of years, travelling musicians sang for their supper; gathering stories of the places they went to and the people they met. This summer, I'm going to be travelling across Europe in my tiny red jeep with piano in tow; travelling as a modern troubadour, singing for my supper, exchanging my songs for the hospitality and tales of strangers. This is the route I'm going to take (so far!)









I'm going to be staying with all sorts of wonderful people, talking to them and writing songs about them. In France I'm even going to perform for the mayor of Palluau (very excited). I'm going to be playing in weird and wonderful places, including a Polish artist's sofa (www.konsofa.com), a German castle and an Umbrian Bee farm. I'll update this regularly with plans for my travels, and feel free to make comments or suggestions of places I should visit or stories I should hear and tell!
