Great evening watching the mighty Boo Hewerdine..prolific songwriter, voice like a lark, humour like Hancock - an old friend from years ago who gave me my first break, signing me to his label Haven Records. And who’s that on percussion? Phil DiPalma, Angelou’s first drummer, now percussion/keys for Eastern Seaboard. Great night. #norwichmusic #boohewerdine #singersongwriter (at Octagon Unitarian Chapel) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTfzwmgB7b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tmh69d20wjh7

The Infamous One of a Kind Kick Drum Case is back! And so is my band, beginning with original drummer Mark Ireland @theflob Mark drummed on my first demo many years, and albums, ago. Great to have him back in ‘the house’. #thewoodenhouse #norwichmusic #singersongwriter https://www.instagram.com/p/BqsS5XZFfCK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=179j9spczu7pz

Happy Birthday Jeff Buckley, my Elvis ♥️ and fellow Scorpion - you’d have been 52 today! Your music still inspires, and kept me company on my recent birthday Icelandic road trip, reminding me of the infinite possibilities.

My crib for the night - Borealis Hotel. It’s the eve of my 49th birthday and here’s hoping there might be a northern light show. #girlontheroad @borealishotel (at Borealis Hotel - Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFqugpF0RLfDvlAZd7SZ5Gcne2VQJ4jmhNtz40/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r6fkovqv68r8

On the way back to the south - black shore with a lake as still as a millpond. Incredibly peaceful here. #peace #girlontheroad #iceland https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFqdQqFrDebFcnKqrSKtixYwAqZi83gM_HHIY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f0cgkjq11c15

The sun stays so low here, it’s quite beautiful. Turns everything golden. Even the road. #girlontheroad #theroad #golden #snaefellsnespeninsula (at Western Region (Iceland)) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqFqIKsFppGAPHZNR9NDNg4U_ZfYY8-2jwa8Hw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n99g8lxfixi8

I wanted to marry this cinnamon bun. Still warm out of the oven, melted in the mouth. Sadly I ate it. #heaveninmymouth #girlontheroad #braudandco (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqCPRU4lWkfyHKmeorViA-rknhsjgApYQnnSxc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bmypcbhxc7zp

Good morning Reykjavík. What a sight as I walked up the hill to find breakfast. Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral waking up. Reminded me of Sagrada Familia, majestic and humbling, just stunning. #hallgrimskirkja #girlontheroad (at Reykjavík, Iceland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqCOhuDFbvkqTWPOiGbbikrcA6dd-WVobS45240/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bbx8k6qqi7r7
