For a while he worked as a barista at Monmouth Coffee Company, and can be found in the depths of Dartmoor when he has the chance.
“Freddie Crowley’s introductions to the pieces combined unaffected ease with erudition. Still only in his mid-twenties, he is already developing a distinctive style, particularly in the way he holds silences, creating exquisite tension and release.”
