Here is an artist who represents all the best aspects of the songwriter’s craft. A casual observer of the world that surrounds him, he draws on its roots, it’s past and present.

A story teller in the age-old tradition, a balladeer, poet and a writer of impressively prolific output, with four studio albums released, and his fifth entitled ‘Love & Supernatural’ due out in 2013.

His songs are shaped, sculpted and coloured by the myriad experiences of his life, from his time spent travelling and absorbing various cultures across Europe and the Indian subcontinent, to his reclusive lifestyle in a tepee.

His is a craft well learned, and invested with depths of emotion and empathy that are unique. Alex blends genres from baroque to blues, with a warm soulful voice, finger-style acoustic guitar, some fine lapsteel playing, bouzouki, and a stompbox to boot.

His writing is honest and direct, uncompromising but often edgy. On stage he threads themes and stories into a timeless and captivating web of song.

‘A gift for storytelling on a British contemporary folk album we can be proud of. You’ll love this album.’

‘The last time Alex played ToneFest, he arrived with a suitcase full of his CD’s.
That’s optimistic I thought. However after playing a truly magical set to the residents of the Free Peace Suite, a set that had FIVE standing ovations, Alex left with an empty suitcase and many more fans.’
