He has been the recipient of the PRS ATOM award for new music creation, as well as an EFDSS creative bursary for songwriting. His first album ´The Flame and The Pelican´ was in the Telegraph´s Top 10 Roots/ Folk albuns iof the year, and his second, The Wide Afternoon, has just been released to universal critical accliam.
