After moving to the Forest of Dean and becoming involved with the local music scene, she was determined to pick up the guitar again, as most local venues encourage live music. Her desire to join in has flourished and she can now accompany herself acoustically.

My style consists of acoustic covers of popular songs, and a collection of my original compositions.
I have had a number of wonderful opportunities to perform at different events/festivals, and have been gigging in/around Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire.
1430 Josh Hopkins
From a young age I was engrossed in music. From attending gigs of my Dads, hearing musicians jam to playing a bodhran at the age of 9 at an Open Mic. Quickly growing an interest for percussion I played the drums in a three piece funk rock band.
At the age of 18 I studied popular music at Herefordshire Arts College where I started to grow an interest for playing guitar and song-writing. By the age of 20 I was playing gigs of my own, however I wanted to further my knowledge in Music so went on to attend Bristol Institute of Modern Music. Following on from BIMM I played at the London Olympics in 2012. Currently recording, gigging and doing several small festivals this year, mainly playing my own material (folk reggae).
