Well! What a year this has been, in all ways. Which nobody can deny. Every single person in the entire world has been affected in some way or other by this singular year. To most, it has been a bumpy and somewhat chaotic road, full of upheaval, disappointment and mess. To some, it has been a time of great sadness. I, however, had found myself in a uniquely positive situation and saw it as a great opportunity. One that I would possibly never see again. 2020 has been one of the

A final interview to round off the year. The other day I was interviewed by Gemma from Music of the Future. It's a fun little summing-up of my year and busy December month. Do have a read, and let me know somewhere on the internet what you thought of it. Time to relax a little... Phew! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Less than two weeks since my Christmas song release and with more than 3,000 streams on Spotify alone, I thought I would give everyone an extra big little gift... Here it is!! I wasn't going to make a video for this song, but I felt it deserved one. So in the last two or three days I cobbled together this little bit of fun. Having had my new iPhone 12 mini for less than a week, I thought I'd try and incorporate one of its features - Memoji. But in my usual fashion, I adapted

For the first time ever, you can all hear me speak in depth about various sides of what I do in music and what I have been doing this past year. The New Artist Spotlight gave me this opportunity to chat with Plummy and Maaya Mattoo in their weekly podcast, and it really was a lot of fun. There's lots of interesting stuff and amusing little bits. For those of you who have only heard my music, this should let you know a little more about how I do what I do as an artist, and hel

The season is finally upon us, after a most disastrous and frankly stupid year. Christmas is just what we all need. Our very own dose of salts. A much needed respite from all things. To start off the proceedings, I thought I would give you all an early Christmas present, in the form of song. Here is my latest single, Santa's On His Way. A future Christmas classic...? You tell me! As with all my music, it hints at the old days and offers something new, different and fresh. A s

On the eve of my Christmas single release (released 4th Dec - see link below), the premium members of the New Artist Spotlight voted my latest single To See My Lover Again at number one! This will be my second song going to number one in this chart. The love and support for To See My Lover Again has been overwhelming and frankly rather humbling. More reviews and interviews to come soon. Keep your eyes peeled. TAP TO SEE TOP 20 CHART - #TSMLA TAP TO WATCH MUSIC VIDEO - #TSMLA

Some of you may not know this, but I have been writing weekly single reviews for other budding artists for a few months, called Connolly's Corner. They seem to be going down rather well, as I do it a little differently. What I attempt is to create an image or scene; a feeling or vision. This is all for a wonderful organisation called the New Artist Spotlight (I created and designed their website too) founded by Ed Eagle. Its goal is to help artists achieve popularity, streams

Bryony Brook and Patrick Leo Holland played my brand new song, To See My Lover Again, on Frome FM - they seem to be fans of mine...! This is the second time they have played my music.

So this is what has been going on. Corr! What a week this has been. Or less than a week, I should say. Firstly my new single, To See My Lover Again, was released on Friday, but that was planned. The rest was most certainly not. Two days before my release, Spotify informed me that I have 500 followers! The very same day I also hit a landmark milestone of 10,000 streams for my first single, Never Said Goodbye. One day before the new single release, I managed over 100 pre-saves
