Ditty In A Dash
By Frances
Each episode will see Frances invite a special guest into her home studio, once a fortnight, for a chat about their musical journeys, before setting the timer and getting down to business. With chart-topping, award winning guests lined up, this series is guaranteed to pull back the curtain and reveal a glimpse of the talents of some of the music industry’s biggest songwriters.

S2 Ep5: Grace Davies
S2 Ep4: Tom Mann
Having Tom Mann join me for an episode is such a pleasure. He is so talented and just a joy to talk to and write with. Recently he has written Becky Hill’s single ‘Last Time’ as well as the latest Regard feat. Tate McRae and Troye Sivan single ‘You’. It was amazing to be able to grab him for an hour as he’s a man in high demand!
S2 Ep3: Lauren Aquilina
S2 Ep2: Violet Skies
S2 Ep1: Nina Nesbitt
S1 Ep5: Andrew Jackson
The legendary Andrew Jackson joined me for this episode and what a joy it was! Andrew has written for Dua Lipa, Rag ’n’ Bone Man, James Arthur, Kygo and Hailee Steinfeld to name but a few. We have been writing together fairly regularly for over a year now and he is definitely one of my favourite collaborators. I’m sure you’ll love him as much as I do!
S1 Ep4: The Covid-19 Solo Edition
Recorded in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic.. this was a very interesting one to do. I’m used to writing on my own, but I really felt the pressure this time!! I hope you enjoy this little peek inside my brain!
S1 Ep3: Becky Hill
I was so lucky to have Becky Hill join me for episode 3. She is a powerhouse vocalist and an incredible songwriter! Year after year her career gets more exciting. Her releases shoot up the charts and you’d struggle to do a journey in the car without hearing her voice on the radio. We hit it off straight away when we first met a year or so ago and I’ve adored working with her in the studio. I’ve no doubt you’ll love her as much as I do!
S1 Ep2: Maisie Peters
The wonderful Maisie Peters joined me for today’s episode. She is a songwriting pocket rocket bursting with genius ideas and lyrics that make you melt into an emotional puddle or go ‘OMG ME TOO’! It was a total pleasure to have her and I’m sure you’ll agree that she is going to take over the world any moment now!
