Sputnik’s ukulele shows are a surreal/vaudeville experience with rock n' roll energy, a combination of original songs & well chosen covers.Sputnik has busked with Eddie Izzard, jammed with Jools Holland, supported everyone from John Hegley to Alice Cooper & Peter Gabriel, recorded for Sony BMG & played at 1000's of venues & festivals across Europe.
His original songs (23 independent albums released thus far) have been aired at the Sundance Film Festival and on BBC Radio Two, Three, Four, Radio Wales & Radio Cymru.
Sputnik is from Carmarthenshire and remains one of the most relevant & prolific socio-political songwiters of the punk generation.
From 2011-15 Sputnik performed with the folk/rock icons "The Men They Couldn’t Hang" (playing drums and piano on their acclaimed album “The Defiant”).
