Alchemy Crystal Bowl Sound Baths 

I was introduced to Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls some years ago by a dear friend. I was immediately hooked! These bowls produce incredible sounds, possess amazing properties and look divine!  In recent years, I've built up quite a collection (17 at the moment!). Now, I'm finally taking these bowls out there for others to enjoy. I love creating sound baths combining the crystal singing bowls with voice and other sound healing instruments from across the world. Check out Events for my upcoming Alchemy Crystal Bowl Sound Baths. 

InterPlay at Folk Music Festivals 

For some time now I've been wanting to bring the various strands of my “offerings” together. Delighted to say that it's all coming together now. In 2022, I ran my first InterPlay sesson at a folk music festival - the National Celtic Festival in Portarlington to be precise. There was a great turnout and folk really enjoyed it. Thanks very much to the National Celtic Festival for giving me the chance to try out something different!  Since then, I've run InterPlay at a number of music festivals ~ Cygnet Festival, National Folk Festival, Sydney Folk Festival and more. I'll be running an InterPlay session at the Maldon Folk Festival in November. Hope to see you there! 

And the Countdown to the National Celtic Festival is on...! 

Can't wait to be back at the National Celtic Festival in Portarlington! An amazing lineup as always. I'll be performing with Shane O'Mara as well as doing some unaccompanied singing, hosting the House of Song singing session and more.... See you there! 

Festivals Opening Up Again in 2022! 

So excited to have an array of festival performances lined up in 2022! How amazing it will be to sing for live audiences again! A nice mixture of solo performances - unaccompanied song - and gigs with the wonderful Shane O'Mara in the pipeline.
