An unforgettable week in Italy with my girl @elovetales backing some incredible artists alongside a band of heavyweights.

I remember seeing No Doubt performing ‘Don’t speak’ on top of the pops and thinking Gwen Stefani was the coolest person ever, and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would get the opportunity to sing it with her (and she is still the coolest person ever FYI).

Thank you @bobbyfame for once again making dreams come true! I will be absolutely be returning to Capri for another one of those fantastic lemon desserts.

Keys - Adam Wakeman

2025 in music and travel. Thank you to all the amazing musicians, crew, artists, composers, producers and fixers for having me along for the journey - I will never ever take for granted what I get to do for a living and am incredibly fortunate to get to do so alongside so many kind, talented and hilarious individuals.

A lot can happen in a year!

Slide 1 - Last year in Prague having the time of my life watching one of my all time musical heroes @thestreetsofficial__

Slide 2
Now actually getting to sing the songs I have loved for 20 years.

Slide 3 + 4
Being acknowledged by The Guardian in their incredibly kind review of the show.

I almost talked myself out of being put forward for this because I was scared I wouldn’t be able to do justice to an album I care about so much. A grand don’t come for free was and still is such an important body of work to me and my best friends, and to some friends we have sadly lost. To be able to play a small part in bringing it to life on stage alongside Mike’s incredible band and crew is genuinely one of the greatest honours I’ve ever had, and not one I ever expected to have.

Thank you @bobbyfame for the call, and for telling me to just record the demo anyway because what’s the worst that could happen? by @rooismyname

I first saw @thekooks at Portsmouth Wedgewood rooms in 2006, and possibly queued up to buy a T shirt too…… You may say I’m a bit of a fan, so to get to perform with them alongside fellow ‘little R’s’ @rhiannapiana @rosie_musiic on this years @jools.holland.official Hootenanny was very special indeed!

Thanks to @desri_7 @fridatouray and @iam_rahh for having us on this whilst they were away being fabulous elsewhere ❤️

Our gorgeous glam by legend @ollyfisk and styling by the lovely ladies at @loverslanelondon (please bury me in these Gucci boots) ❤️

Swipe for a real cute bonus countdown mosh pit / bundle with Jools - which is maybe my favourite moment of 2025, if not life. by @rooismyname

Performing live in The Woolpack on Emmerdale with @jdonofficial Singing ‘too many broken hearts’ while poor Claire King is lying on ground with a broken leg was not on my 2025 bingo, but in a year full of surprises, here we are!
