Academic Probation & Suspension
Undergraduate students who enter with or drop below a 2.00 cumulative GPA will be placed and remain on probation until the cumulative GPA is raised to a 2.00 or above. During the probation period, the student must maintain a semester GPA of 2.00 or higher. Students placed on probation will be officially notified by the Registrar's Office and a statement will be posted on the student's transcript. Students leaving the University on probation will be re-admitted on probation. An official transcript must be provided to the Registrar's Office to remove probation status if the student attends another university and raises the cumulative GPA to 2.00. Failure to maintain a minimum institutional GPA of 2.00 each semester while on probation will result in the student being placed on suspension for a period of one year,and he/she will not be eligible to re-enroll until such time period has elapsed.
Undergraduate students may be suspended from the University for one calendar year for failure to meet the terms of probation or for grade point deficiency. Students placed on suspension will be officially notified by the Registrar's Office, and a statement will be posted on the student's transcript indicating "Placed on Suspension." After a period of suspension the student will be permitted to enroll again on probation. Students on suspension from other institutions will not be admitted to A&M-Texarkana until their specified periods of suspension expires unless approval is given by the institution which placed the student on suspension. Students who wish to appeal the status of academic suspension may do so through the Dean of their college (see Admissions Rules and Procedures). Early re-entry is possible only once with permission from the Dean of the college; then, the Dean of the college will forward the recommendation to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Only extenuating circumstances warrant such action. A&M-Texarkana reserves the right to deny admission to a student suspended from another college even though the suspension period has expired.Note: Enrollment restrictions as a result of suspension are imposed only at the end of the fall and spring terms. Also, the graduate level Probation/Suspension policy can be found in the graduate section of this catalog.

I've been following your blog for 2 years now. I was hoping there would be a little more about you in your bio. What city are you based out of? Is there a base or theme you have for postings? When I explain your site I just say it's a site I found where the guys seems to really enjoy the same things I do!ReplyDelete
Like BoingBoing is probably a good description...ReplyDelete
I love your site! There are always so many interesting pictures to look at. You must spend ages gathering stuff.ReplyDelete
I wonder if you recognise the artist from this scan? It's from a magazine picture I've had on the wall for ages and it looks like the sort of thing you do.
I've been following your blog for several weeks now and want to tell you how much I enjoy it. You post stuff that I never see anywhere else and it's always exciting. Having started my own blog just a couple months ago, I have a lot more respect for ones that are easy to read and well laid out. Just this morning I discovered that you've been doing double duty for me cause I would get a lot of inspiration from Toycutter when I was doing regular customs.ReplyDelete
Best wishes - keep it up!
You are without a doubt my go-to blog every day without fail. Everyones contributions are all so grand. You bring a smile to this Englishman. Keep it up.ReplyDelete

About Bicep
Bicep flexes its vocal muscles
Remember when you were young and carefree and had nothing better to do than daydream about being a rock star? Bicep pretty much started out that way, except it happened to be a bunch of kids in Belfast, Ireland obsessing over disco, house and techno.
From a shared fascination to actually making noise on the UK's underground house scene (and beyond), Andy Ferguson and Matt McBriar continue their rapid ascent as two of the biggest names manning the turntables. They've landed residencies at Space Ibiza and The Warehouse Project, and continue to rrun a website called www.feelmybicep.com that started as a joke back in 2008.
Who's laughing at Bicep now? Their first 12" on Citizen Kane's Ghost Town Records sold out within a week of going on sale. Their debut on New York's Throne of Blood Records was one of the most downloaded trcks on xlr8r.com, topped the charts on boomkat.com, and made many 'favorites' lists over at Beats in Space.
Bicep remains busy producing original music (like the summer smash "$tripper) and DJing around Europe, Asia, and North America. They told Mixmag that their continued success has made them independent, both financially and creatively. They spent a good chunk of time working on their label and cutting tracks, and otherwise making the fans dance, dance, dance. They also rolled through the summer of 2014 playing hot spots like Hideout, Movement 2014, The Garden Festival, Lost & Sound, Farr Festival, Dekmantel Festival, South West Four 2014, the Bestival and many more.
Bicep also has tour dates nailed through the spring and summer of 2015. They're playing the Fngrs Crssed x Crssd Festival in San Diego (March 19) and Prototype 005 at Lot 613 in Los Angeles (March 20) before returning to the UK. The In fact, the band has events booked all the way through July and a special date on the calendar in September at Festival No. 6 at Portmeirion, West + Wales.

Walker gained national attention soon after assuming the office of governor in 2011 due to his proposal of Wisconsin Act 10, which became known as the "Scott Walker Budget Repair Bill." The bill, which restricted the ability of public workers to engage in public bargaining, drew massive protests, mainly organized by unions. Opponents of the measure targeted Walker for recall, successfully forcing the incumbent to face a recall election on June 5, 2012.[2] Walker again faced Tom Barrett (D), defeating him 53% to 46%. In doing so Walker became the first governor to survive a recall.[3] The legislation also led to two years of State Senate recalls, where ultimately three Republican Senators were recalled by voters.
An analysis of Republican governors by Nate Silver of the New York Times in April 2013 ranked Walker as the 3rd most conservative governor in the country.[4] Walker is a member of the executive committee of the National Governor's Association. He, along with eight other governors, will determine the association's priorities and actions for the year. He was named to this leadership role in August, 2013.[5]
Walker, should he choose to run, will be up for re-election in 2014. He is considered a potential candidate for President in 2016.[6]

He previously ran for Governor in 2006 but ended his candidacy over fund-raising concerns. In April of 2009, he announced his second run for Governor.[9]
Walker has been married to his wife Tonnette for 17 years and have two high school age sons. The Walkers reside in Wauwatosa.[7]

Political career
Governor of Wisconsin (2011 - Present)
Walker campaigned for both his party's nomination and during the general election on a program of cutting spending, reversing taxes, and reducing salary and benefits for public sector union employees.[10] He specifically promised to decline a proposed $800 million federal grant to build a rail line between Madison and Milwaukee, saying the annual upkeep would dwarf federal government aid and be too expensive to make the project worthwhile.[11] After his victory, the grant was rescinded and the money given to other states.
Collective bargaining
One of Walker's early proposals, Wisconsin Assembly Bill 11, the "Scott Walker Budget Repair Bill", is aimed at saving Wisconsin citizens money by reducing the ability of government employee unions to engage in collective bargaining. Under the plan, only emergency responders would retain that privilege. The proposal also called for unions members to make contributions to their own medical insurance and retirement savings, of 12.6% and 5.8% respectively.[12][13]
The bill was introduced into the Assembly by the Committee on Assembly Organization, at the request of Governor Walker, on February 15, 2011. It was then referred, successively, to the Joint Committee on Finance and the Joint Survey Committee on Retirement Systems. The Republican controlled Assembly and the Senate were in favor of the bill; not surprisingly, their Democratic colleagues took the opposite view. Lacking the numbers to vote the bill down, the entire Wisconsin Senate Democratic contingent simply refused to vote. Senate Republicans are one short of the 20 members needed to call a quorum and vote on spending bills, meaning the Democrats were able to halt a vote on the bill.
Governor Walker ordered Wisconsin law enforcement to find the Senators and compel them to return to the Capitol for the vote, causing the Democratic Senate delegation to decamp to a resort across the border in Rockford, Illinois.[14][15] In a February 17th press conference, Walker pressed lawmakers to return to the state and take a vote. Asked if he thought he had any legal authority to cross state lines and compel Senate Democrats to return to Madison, he told reporters, "That's a really big question for us."[16]
The response from unions became a national story; schools were closed for days as unionized teachers called in 'sick' and camped out inside the Capitol rotunda.[17] Republicans adjourned until Friday, February 18, 2011, still indicating a vote could go forward. Holding 19 seats in the Senate and requiring 20 for a vote, the GOP only needs one additional member to show up.[18][19] While the DNC, President Obama, and national union heads weighed in against Walker's plan, one local paper editorialized that Democrats needed to "get over their snits and get back to work".[20]
Union leaders and Democrats contrasted their actions as making a final stand to prevent similar bills from being introduced in other states. Both President Obama and union heads described the bill as an 'assault'.[21]
As the first week of protests ended, with Madison and Milwaukee schools having been closed three days, schools sought a temporary restraining order banning teachers from attending protests and thus forcing teachers to report to their jobs, something the courts denied on Friday, February 18th.[22] Meanwhile, union members from other states began streaming into Wisconsin to join the protests and some allies of Governor Walker reported being picketed at their own homes.[23]
Republicans did not get their vote on Friday and protests continued through the weekend and the President's Day holiday, by which time the story was an international headline and other GOP governors were fashioning versions of the bill for their own states. By this point, protests from organized labor had spread to Indiana and Ohio, with pro-union crowds thronging those state capitols.[24]
Governor Walker and his party-mates steadfastly refused to back down on cutting collective bargaining rights, with Walker telling media outlets that he was doing exactly what he had promised during his campaign. On Tuesday, February 22, 2011, Wisconsin's Assembly Speaker, Jeff Fitzgerald, who also chairs the Assembly Committee that first saw the bill, spoke publicly before beginning the day,s session; he vowed to pass the bill intact and echoed Walker's stance that Republicans were doing exactly what they has promised to do if elected.[25]
The start of the second week also brought an ultimatum from the Governor, who warned public employees that he would commence layoffs if his bill continued to be stalled.[26] With Senate Democrats still out of Walker's reach, their Assembly counterparts spent the morning session pushing for more than 100 amendments. Both the Senate and the Governor worked under heavy guard from state patrol officers with the roar of protesters audible throughout the Capitol.
Tuesday morning also brought the first indications that Senate Republicans might have found a way to end collective bargaining without Democratic cooperation. While the Wisconsin Senate must have a quorum to pass spending and fiscal bills, they could theoretically sever the collective bargaining from the spending cuts and pass the former item in its own bill. Freshman Senate Leah Vukmir indicated the idea had been considered but that the GOP was not yet sure it wanted to take that route.[27]
In effect after Supreme Court ruling
On June 14, 2011, the state Supreme Court overturned a lower court, ruling that Gov. Walker's collective bargaining law is in effect.
The ruling voids Dane County Circuit Court Judge Maryann Sumi's decision that the law wasn't in effect because lawmakers broke the state's open meetings law during the passage of the legislation.
"We've been saying since day one that Republicans passed the budget repair bill correctly, so frankly this isn't much of a surprise," Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald said in a joint statement. "We followed the law when the bill was passed, simple as that."
In its ruling, the state Supreme Court said because the Dane County Circuit Court "invaded the legislature's constitutional powers...under the Wisconsin Constitution" when Sumi issued a temporary restraining order preventing the law from going into effect.[28]
Dane County District Judge Maryann Sumi ruled in May 2011 that lawmakers violated Wisconsin's open meetings law in passing the collective bargaining legislation in spring 2011, and therefore, the bill would be null and void. Gov. Walker had signed the bill into law, but the ruling overruled it.
"It is not the court's duty to determine whether 2011 Wisconsin Act 10 is good public policy or bad public policy; that is the business of the legislature," according to the ruling. "It is this court's responsibility, however, to apply the rule of law to the facts before it."
Sumi ruled that lawmakers failed to give enough notice for the Joint Committee on Conference meeting held March 9, 2011, during which lawmakers settled on the final version of the collective bargaining bill. The bill requires most public union employees to contribute more to their health care and pension plans and limits their collective-bargaining powers to salary negotiations.
Legislative leaders have pledged to pass the legislation again as part of the biennial budget — and they're counting on the state Supreme Court to be the ultimate decider on this case.
"There's still a much larger separation-of-powers issue: whether one Madison judge can stand in the way of the other two democratically elected branches of government," said Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald in a statement. "The Supreme Court is going to have the ultimate ruling, and they're still scheduled to hear the issue on June 6."[29]
Commission on Waste, Fraud and Abuse
Gov. Walker called for the formation of a Commission on Waste, Fraud and Abuse. The seven-member committee assembled in January 2011 and in July 2011, it identified $266,555,737 in potential annual savings for state agencies. The commission found that if the agencies streamlined and improved current practices, the savings amount to more than $250 million.
In their report, commission members scolded state agencies for failing to control expenses the way Wisconsin residents have been forced to do in the wake of the recession.
"Wisconsin deserves a government that spends its financial resources just as carefully as the citizens of Wisconsin spend their own," said Craig Rakowski, the commission's chairman and president of James Craig Builders, in the report. "Everyone has been forced to take a closer look at how they spend their money. Our state government should be no different."[30]
Job creation ranking
In a June 2013 analysis by The Business Journals, which ranked 45 of the country's 50 governors by their job creation records, Walker was ranked number 40. The five governors omitted from the analysis all assumed office in 2013. The ranking was based on a comparison of the annual private sector growth rate in all 50 states using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.[31][32]
September 2013 NYC event
Six of the Republican Party's leaders and potential 2016 nominees will jointly headline a fundraiser for the Republican National Committee (RNC) in New York in September 2013.
According to an invitation that went out August 26, 2013, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and Jets owner Woody Johnson will host the event September 23, 2013.[33] It will be held at Johnson's home.[33]
It is a dinner and reception with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Senators Marco Rubio and Rand Paul and Gov. Walker, as well as Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Rep. Paul Ryan, who are listed as the "special guests."[33]
It represents a major force of star power at a single event on behalf of the party and it features some of the party's brightest future talent, many of whom represent different wings of the GOP.[33]
Voter ID
In the summer of 2011, Wisconsin voters faced unique slate of recall elections which served to provide voters with a test run of needing to show photo identification when they arrived to vote at the polls. This all depended on a mid-May vote in the Senate and Gov. Walker's signature. The primary elections in spring 2012 would be the first voter ID primaries.
The Government Accountability Board, the state's elections agency, began preparing to train local clerks and poll workers before the Senate vote.
GAB spokesman Reid Magney said the agency could try a "soft implementation" of voter ID during recall elections for nine Wisconsin state senators, slated for July 12 or Aug. 9, if a primary is required. Recall voters will be asked, but not required, to provide ID and will receive literature explaining the new requirements.
"We've begun the planning process for implementation, but at this point I think it's too early to say that we'll have it done by a certain day," Magney said.
The State Assembly last week passed the voter ID proposal, AB 7, by a mostly party-line vote of 60 to 35, with all Republicans and a few Democrats in support.
State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said the proposal will protect the integrity of elections.
"I think that there's enough isolated incidents over the years that anyone who casts a vote has to have the full faith in the idea that their vote counts and it's not going to be canceled out by some other person in another part of the state involved in some shenanigans," he said.[34]
Budget bill, 2011
The legislative process for creating and passing the budget the state budget included protestors and a lot of national attention. Late on June 16, 2011, the state Senate passed Gov. Scott Walker's $66 billion budget on a party-line 19-14 vote after nine hours of debate.
The 2011 legislative session was sharply divided between Republican and Democratic lawmakers on nearly all of Walker's proposed legislation. The earlier protests included two protesters who chained themselves to railings in the Senate chamber's viewing gallery.
Once Gov. Walker signs the budget into law, it will take effect July 1.
One protester began shouting from the Senate chamber's viewing gallery as Senate President Michael Ellis called for a vote. "I want my democracy back!" she screamed.
Republicans accused Democrats of being short-sighted and resisting measures that could bring jobs to Wisconsin, ultimately benefiting the state.
"You want to talk values? Let's talk values," said state Sen. Alberta Darling. "Frugality...having a job...that's the mission we have."
Democrats accused Republicans of ignoring the needs of children by slashing funding for education while introducing tax breaks for businesses, and of targeting low-income residents while refusing to raise taxes on the wealthy.
"It's an abandonment of our responsibility as officials to make sure that each citizen has the same opportunities," said state Sen. Robert Jauch.[35]
Rejects Medicaid expansion
Addressing a meeting of Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce on February 13, 2013, Gov. Walker announced his decision to reject Medicaid expansion through the federal health care law. Instead, Walker offered an alternative plan that he said would reduce the number of uninsured people by nearly the same amount as Medicaid expansion.
Walker stated, "My goal in looking at this is two things: One, I want to have fewer people in the state who are uninsured, but along with that I'd like to have fewer people in the state who are dependent on the government."[36]
Under Walker's alternative plan, an enrollment cap on Medicaid programs for childless adults would be lifted, income eligibility for state residents able to use Medicaid programs would be tightened, and thousands of people currently in such programs would be moved to federal government run healthcare exchanges, allowing them to purchase private insurance.[36]
As expected, Republicans praised the decision while Democrats soundly rejected it. Walker became the 14th Republican governor to reject the Medicaid expansion.[37]
County Executive of Milwaukee (2002 - 2010)
First elected in a special election to replace a County Executive who had left office under the cloud of a pension fund scandal, Walker went on to win re-election twice, with 57% with 2004 and 59% in 2008.[38][39][40] While in office, Walker returned substantial portions of his own salary - half of what he earned in most years. While in office, Walker also cut payroll and debt in Milwaukee County.
Toward the end of his time as a County Executive, the collapse of a public parking garage in Milwaukee, a tragedy that killed a 14 year old boy, became a rapidly politicized campaign point. Walker's opponent and his critics in general blamed him for being part a shoddy oversight that allowed the garage to be so poorly maintained as to be unsafe for use at the time of the collapse. Walker maintained, and investigations showed, that original construction, before he joined the County Executive's office, was partly responsible.
Wisconsin State Legislature (1993 - 2002)
During four terms as a state legislator, Walker earned a reputation as a supporter of cracking down on crime and curtailing welfare programs, as well as a staunch pro-life advocate on abortion issues. His positions on the last issue was later to earn him multiple important endorsements from right to life groups during his gubernatorial run.
Walker's signature legislative work came on the Committees on Correctional Facilities, and Corrections and the Courts. While building experience in criminal justice legislature, Walker authored one bill, aimed at 'truth in sentencing' that effectively ended the practice of shaving time off prisoners' sentences for good behavior.

Walker easily defeated Arthur Kohl-Riggs in the Republican primary. Five candidates sought the Democratic nomination - Kathleen Falk, Kathleen Vinehout, Doug La Follette, Tom Barrett and Gladys Huber.
Talk of an attempt to recall Walker for his role in the passage of the Budget Repair Bill began in February 2011, about a month after he took office. However, under Wisconsin law an elected official has to be in office for one year before they can be recalled. Although Walker was safe, nine state Senators faced recall elections, which ultimately led to two incumbent Republicans being removed from office.
On October 10, 2011, Wisconsin state Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate announced that they, in conjunction with United Wisconsin, would officially begin the recall campaign against Walker on November 15. In order to put a recall on the ballot, they had to collect 540,208 valid signatures in 60 days.[41] On March 30, 2012, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board officially certified just over 900,000 signatures and scheduled the recall.[42]

Walker faced Tom Barrett (D), James James (Common Sense), and Jim Langer (I) in the general election on November 2, 2010. Walker won the election with 52% of the vote. In the primaries, Walker easily defeated two GOP challengers. His general election battle with Tom Barrett was one of the most acrimonious of the 2010 cycle, becoming more fraught as Walker's poll number improved.
Walker ran on a ticket with Rebecca Kleefisch.
His win was part of a midterm election night that overall favored Republicans. Aside from the governorship, Republicans gains in Wisconsin on Election Night 2010 included picking up both chambers of the state legislature.[44]

text: To review selected wildlife user rights regulations in the broader context of natural resources management and to discuss their implementation and impacts, the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG) held a November 2000 meeting at World Resources Institute (WRI). The meeting, chaired by the Biodiversity Support Program (BSP), discussed why wildlife user rights are an environmental governance issue. It promoted a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges of developing community based wildlife management initiatives that support the dual objectives of improved wildlife conservation and improved community development. Through presentations and discussion, it explored lessons learned from past experiences with wildlife user rights and community based forestry. Examples were given of current implementation of wildlife user rights in selected countries. WRI presented a detailed analysis of regulations and guidelines on wildlife user rights from Uganda, Namibia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon based on criteria that included: 1) ecological management; 2) rights and responsibilities; and 3) legal and institutional issues.

7 agencies make progress on implementing 'cloud first,' GAO says
Friday - 7/13/2012, 6:42am EDT
Seven selected agencies have made progress in putting into practice the "cloud first" policy instituted by the Office of Management and Budget, according to a recently released report by the Government Accountability Office.
GAO found that the Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, State and Treasury departments and the General Services and Small Business administrations had all implemented the cloud computing requirements as part of their policies and processes.
OMB established its cloud first policy in December 2010, requiring agencies to utilize cloud-based solutions "whenever a secure, reliable, and cost-effective cloud option exists," the report states. Agencies were also expected to migrate three of their technology services to the cloud by June 2012.
In February 2011, the seven agencies GAO reviewed had identified three technology services to migrate to the the cloud and successfully implemented at least one by the following December.
Five of the agencies had migrated all three technologies by the June 2012 deadline that OMB had set. The two remaining agencies expect to meet OMB's migration requirement by year's end.
Examples of agency services migrated to the cloud include email and production infrastructure at DHS and correspondence tracking and IT power management at GSA.
In addition, each of the agencies identified other services, such as a customer service help desk and data storage, that could be moved to the cloud in the future.
The GAO listed seven common challenges that agencies faced in implementing OMB's cloud first policy:
- Meeting Federal Security Requirements
- Obtaining guidance
- Acquiring knowledge and expertise
- Certifying and accrediting vendors
- Ensuring data portability and interoperability
- Overcoming cultural barriers
- Procuring services on a consumption (on-demand) basis.
As part of the report, GAO made recommendations to each of the seven agencies in how to establish key planning information for implementing cloud first. These include setting cost and performance goals and retiring legacy systems for the services that have been migrated to the cloud.

The Force pulled off a surprise victory over a listless Crusaders in Perth.
The Force defended like men possessed to keep the Crusaders winless for a second weekend, leading 16 – 8 at half time, and even though they failed to score in the second half, still won 16 – 14 at the end.
The match failed to produce the running rugby we expected to see, but that suited the Force as they scraped to a win in Perth. The Crusaders spent the second half in the Force 22m, but failed to put more than a single first half try past them. The Force are known as something of a bogey team for the Crusader, but nobody quite expected them to pull off a victory, specifically after their showings so far this season.
The Force got off to a flying start, scoring through Sam Norton-Knight and pulling away to a ten point lead before the Crusaders knew the match had started. Luke Romano pulled a try back for the New Zealanders, crossing the line a further two times, but both being disallowed by the TMO. The Force continued the first half scoring with a further three penalties, but failed to put any points on the board in the second half.
The Crusaders spent the second forty attacking, but could not finish off, rather having to settle for two penalties as the only points scored in a rather boring second half.
The Force next travel to New Zealand to face the Hurricanes while the Crusaders host the lowly Highlanders at Christchurch after three weeks on the road.

ARLINGTON-- Impending Navy budget cuts could have a harmful economic impact to military-rich communities like Hampton Roads and in the Navy's ability to meet its forward-deployed readiness responsibilities around the globe, according to the Navy's top spokesman at the Pentagon.
In an interview with 13News, Navy Chief of Information, Rear Admiral John Kirby, discussed his branch's plans to cut $4.6 billion in spending over the next eight months, reductions that became necessary after a politically divided congress failed to approve a 2013 budget.
Hampton Roads faces $1.4 billion in cuts and includes $271 million in ship repairs on eight destroyers, an amphibious assault ship and one aircraft carrier.
'There's going to be a loss of work there, there's no way around that,' said Kirby, who called the cuts 'regrettable.'
'These are decisions we have to make to be able to stay solvent in operating accounts through the rest of the year. So, I think there is certainly going to be an impact in the local community and to some of the jobs in the private shipyards, but there is also going to be an impact to us as a fleet, because these vessels were supposed to get some very needed maintenance, and will now not get it on time,' said Kirby.
Kirby said the objective will now be to 'make sure that our forward-deployed units stay as ready as possible out there and can do the things that they need to do,' Then he warned, 'Over the long haul there may be some impacts in their ability to stay ready to do the things we need them to do for the country.'
Kirby added the Navy is further concerned about the possibility of an additional $4 billion in cuts that could come if congress fails to reach accord on deficit reduction and sequestration kicks in on March first.
However, he said sailors and their families can rest assured, come what may, they will be taken care of.
'They are still going to get their pay, they're still going get their benefits and their health care that they need, that's going to stay absolutely intact,' Kirby said.

Justin Thorne Music
I am a London based singer songwriter and host of the Rabbit Hole Acoustic Sessions at the Duke of Hamilton in Hampstead.
I have a couple of self-released albums, 'Honey...' and 'Live at Jersey Arts Centre', that I carry around with me to gigs, and I recently launched a new EP on Spotify, iTunes and Amazon, featuring 5 full band studio tracks. Feel free to give it a whirl.
I've been writing and releasing original material for nearly twenty years and have had the pleasure of supporting Ben Howard, Xavier Rudd, Jeff Lang and Derrin Nauendorf amonst many others. I am really looking forward to supporting some of my influences next year and am already in talks with the incredible Declan O'Rourke about some shows next Spring.
