The Red River

The opening track from my album Fighting for the Sinner or the Saint. I grew up in a house that backed onto the railway - the mainline into London Waterloo. You could certainly hear the trains - so loud you had to stop talking. You could feel the trains as the house shaked rattled and rollled as they went on by. It seemed to me the railway line was like a rive. A dirty river rolling to the sea.

Down by the Railway

Bittersweet memories - we all have them. Al keys on this by Lars Hammersland - tremendous stuff. track 2 from the album Fighting for the Sinner or the Saint.

Bittersweet Memories

An excursion into songwriting harking back to 1970s singer songwriters and a time when songs and words mattered. Passionate performances and imaginative presentation from South London the songsmith.
