 Creating a Moment

​​​I have always enjoyed writing music, to me it's such a fun part of being a musician. Now I write professionally, it's so rewarding to collaborate with different musicians and organisations to create music which celebrates people and places. 


In 2024, I was commissioned by Durham County Council to co-write a song for the reopening of the historic Whorlton Bridge. I worked with my friend Sam Slatcher from Citizen Songwriters to meet local people and create a song inspired by their stories and the local landscape.

Here were are in our hard hats exploring the bridge as it was rebuilt- very stylish!

 

I'm so excited to perform the song at the official opening event soon.

​​​

​​​​​​​​​​​​​In 2026, I am proud to have been selected by Northern Heartlands and Into the Light Durham to receive a Cultivate Commission to create a piece of music with and for the different community groups who are based at TCR Hub in Barnard Castle.​​

​

In the last few years I have done lots of work in the historically significant town of Shildon, celebrating the heritage of the railways.​​

You can hear my song Footsteps of Giants for free by clicking here. This is a recording I made with Shildon Institute Singers. 

 

A digital copy is also available from Bandcamp and the proceeds from these sales will go to support the important work of Citizen Songwriters.

​

​​​In 2025, I worked with schools at Locomotion, Shildon to help them write and perform a new verse of a song to celebrate 200 years of trains.  You can read more about the project here.

 Making Musical Memories

"Rosie, you're wonderful, I am completely over the moon. Your singing was fantastic, you really brought the songs to life." Ron

 This is Mike, Ron and Val holding the CD that I recorded for them of the love songs their Dad wrote for their Mum during the war.

 I arranged the songs based on some sketches and words that Ron found in the loft, added some piano accompaniment and recorded them at TCR Hub, Barnard Castle. It was a surprise gift for his family, which they loved.

"Rosie, what a wonderful night we had last night. We can't thank you enough. A magical moment for me." Ron

 If you'd like to talk to me about writing or arranging a song just for you, please get in touch with me and I'll be happy to chat to you about it.

Songs of Love

Commissioning a song for someone you love is a unique gift that lasts forever.

I write and arrange music for life's big moments, including weddings,  anniversaries, Christenings and naming ceremonies.

I'll record your song for you and your loved ones to keep and share. I can also perform it live for you at your special event, or just for you.

 Write Your Songs 

 Many of my voice students are songwriters themselves. I can help you bring out your own original voice, get unstuck on your songwriting and just be a friendly pair of ears to help you thrive creatively. 

​

I have also sung on recordings for my students and other musicians using the excellent recording facilities at TCR Hub.

​

If you'd like to talk to me about your music, please get in touch for a chat.
