The Courage of a Dreamer

‘Courage’ is my debut solo album. It serves as a heartfelt celebration of my favourite Broadway theatre writers – including Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty, Stephen Schwartz, Alan Menken, and Amanda McBroom.
Each track intertwines the personal and the universal, exploring themes of love, loss, and the journey of self-discovery that resonates with listeners from all walks of life.

Intended to be played from start to finish (I know, old fashioned!), it is the story of a life. Perhaps mine. Perhaps yours …

Experience the album’s narrative arc: it begins with a yearning to be understood, evolves into a quest for meaningful connections, and culminates in the joy of finding that special someone. Each chapter weaves together shared adventures and reflections, leading to a powerful conclusion in ‘The Chance To Sing,’ where the journey comes full circle with a profound sense of understanding and acceptance.


“Really beautiful arrangements that bring it together as a complete album. It flows & fits together beautifully”

Just A Boy, the song written especially for me by my South African friend, singer-songwriter Machiel Roets. It was written about, and is forever dedicated to, my friend Dr Paul Whittaker OBE. I hope you like it.
