Upcoming events
Vermilion x Ally London at the Lambeth Fringe
Vermilion (my composing/performing duo with Oran Johnson) will be performing at this year’s Lambeth Fringe Festival.
Vermilion was born of a desire to combine our classical training with rock and pop influences. With Vermilion, we try to create music that combines guitar riffs, glitchy beats, and luminous harmonies. At this show, you can expect classical chamber-music intimacy combined with the energy of a rock gig.
After making our debut in May at SmallRoom Arts, we are so excited to bring you an hour-long show of entirely original music. You can expect guitars, keyboards, electronics, and the sheer delight of Ally London’s voice. Among other pieces will be my song cycle Four Garden Songs, which was written especially for Vermilion.
Classical Unlocked x Entropies Project
I will be joining singer/songwriter Ally London and guitarist Oran Johnson for an evening of bold musical crossover. We are presenting a 25-minute set of original pop songs, classical art songs, and a composition by me (“Verandah”, a song from my recent song-cycle Four Garden Songs).
Entropies are an ensemble that blends alternative, neo-classical, ambient pop & jazz in their evocative performances. Their ambitions of reimagining what classical compositoin and performance can look like align so brilliantly with ours that it’s a great pleasure to be supporting them in their headline show.
Classical Unlocked is hosting the event. They are an organisation that spotlights artists who bring new energy to classical music.
Doors at 7pm. Music starts at 8pm.

Small Room Arts Evening
I will be performing with my dear friend and collaborator Oran Johnson in an intimate setting at Little Nan’s Bar 2.0, Deptford. Oran and I will be joined by soprano Ally London and will be performing a range of music, including four brand new songs by me for Ally and two electric guitars. There will also be new music by Oran, and new arrangements of some of our favourite music. This is a particularly special gig for me, as it marks my first time publicly performing my own compositions, as well as my first performance on the guitar since 2018!
Please come along for an exciting, intimate, genre-blending evening of music. Tickets are available here: https://www.outsavvy.com/event/32965/small-room-session-11
Presteigne Festival
My latest song cycle, Roma Indicta, will be travelling to the Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts in 2026 as part of its ‘Springboard Weekend’.
Breaking Sound 'Gimme the Mic' Showcase
Ally London and I will once again be joining Breaking Sound for an evening of our music, alongside four other emerging London-based artists. This one will be special, though: it’s going to be our first gig together with a band! We’re so excited to be putting on a show like this - it’s something we’ve been dreaming of ever since we started playing together. Come along and see how it goes!
Tickets £10 in advance, £18 on the door. Link TBD.
The River Sessions - Riverside Studios
I will be performing with Ally London at The River Sessions, a songwriters’ night hosted by Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. We will be playing originals by Ally, and some songs that we have co-written.
Tickets are available for purchase here.
