The winter has been cold, wet and grey… what better than to spend the hours indoors planning a new musical venture!
Marius and I began working together as a duo, just the two of us. Pack the guitars and PA system into the car, then drive many a mile to venues all over the country to perform, making new friends along the way.
We are returning to our old ways, and we are planning a series of national performances starting in Autumn 2026. Stay tuned. We will announce the dates here.

Award-winning West Country singer-songwriter Cindy Stratton will take centre stage to launch her highly anticipated new collection, Skylark, in a magical evening of original music and collaboration. Known for her haunting melodies and soulful folk-Americana sound, Cindy will be joined by long-time musical collaborators Marius Frank, Susie Wright, and Ali Norse for a performance that promises depth, beauty, and spellbinding vocals.
Adding to the evening’s rich musical tapestry are support acts Pete Watson and Roger Slade, whose witty, rootsy tales will have audiences smiling, toe-tapping, and pondering life’s eccentricities. Also appearing are Bath favourites Sasserfellas, the acclaimed all-male vocal harmony group blending contemporary pop songs and the British folk tradition into irresistible three- and four-part harmonies.
This is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of songwriting, connection, and the power of live music. One night only. Don’t miss it.
On Sunday December 7th, there will be a reunion party to honour and celebrate Stinkfoot, a fabulous comic opera that I had the pleasure to be a part of many years ago.
Some of you will know Viv Stanshall, of Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band and Sir Henry at Rawlinsons end fame, and Ki Longfellow, fabulous author and co writer of Stinkfoot, from their days on board the Thekla. Both have sadly passed away but their wonderful daughters Silky and Syd are keeping their legacy going and this evening promises to be something special.
And finally, Ian Babbage and I have recorded some of our favourite songs, and I am proud to share them with you. We have called our project Songs from the Decades, and you can find such delights as Georgia on my mind, Don’t Know Why, Her Town, Making Whoopee, Human Nature and lots more on our soundcloud page.
We had a lot of fun putting these together and I hope you will enjoy listening.
