A tale of our troubles in times of crisis and our need for a hero

Hey Superman Where Are You Radio Mix

taken from a beautiful Poem Written by my friend Gerry Martin Connolly, this is a song that is stripped back to basics, simply a guitar a bass, fiddle and a tin whistle.  it simply tells the story of a man who was of a time long gone now.  A road sweep who kept his city clean proudly for over 40 years.  of course through time, the City grew, and the traditional road sweep, was lost in a memory.  

The Gold Watch

A Song based on Social media and our inability to live without it.  It features Singer, Lorelei McBroom who famously has sung with Pink Floyd, Rod Stewart and The Rolling Stones.

Still Waters

Raise a Glass For Christmas is my first venture into writing songs specifically with Christmas in mind and it's taken me over a year to write this.  All the parts are written by me, the harmonies are me, in fact, all the parts are me.  yes a traditional one man band, with an acoustic backup when it comes to playing it live. I really wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.  Enjoy life to the full and lets bring an end to a traumatic at times, old year.
