My Faithful Friend Master 44.1K

I wrote this track fairly recently and it was kind of unexpected as it wasn't what I set out to write.  Hopefully it's relatable as I'm sure we've all been there at some point, where the person we were once obsessed with no longer has any power over us :)

Over You Demo Update Sept 2022

I started writing this track during the first lockdown back in 2020 when my BFF Jane got sick and we were all concerned it might be covid.  At that time testing was very limited and the daily death toll horrendous so , like a lot of people around the world I was very concerned she might end up in hospital.  Thankfully, she made a full recovery and if it was covid, her symptoms, although very concerning were relatively mild compared to many people who were much less fortunate.  I think this pandemic has made us all much more acutely aware of our own mortality.

You Know I Love You 20211204

This is a collaboration with my good friend Paul O'sullivan who plays bass and acoustic guitar on this track.  The track started with the piano sample and the vocal 'AH' which runs through the track.  We actually started writing the track in the Kitchen at Paul's house and as his lovely partner Christina , who loves all things vintage, does all the cooking, the name for the track seemed obvious. Christina also made the little sketch of me you see in my current  logo, so many thanks for that Christina! It's kinda a conversation between two people who have some issues they need to get together and talk through and are discussing where they should meet up.  Christina's kitchen is a cool retro joint where anything goes ... apart from a bad attitude.. It's the kinda place that respects peoples differences .. the kinda place where problems get resolved :)

Short and sweet .. Was having a clear out recently, and came across an old journal ..the inevitable happened .. anyway.. found these lyrics at the end of a particular relationship story ... Adele would be proud of me :)

Anthropology Remix 44.1K Master

In this latest version of Baby Come back I've tried to go for a more melancholy and slightly moody feel.   It's a breakup song that tries to capture a sense of loneliness and loss.  It's an apology and a plea for a second chance.

Baby Come Back

'New moon' is a slight re-imagining of 'Full Moon' which I released in 2018.  I collaborated with my mastering engineer,Samuel Dan, on this mix and I feel the new female vocal samples add something a bit special to this remix.  Hope you agree :)

Here's a love song I've written as a wedding present for two lovely girlfriends Donna and Amanda, who are getting married this June 2024. This song is dedicated in perpetuity to these two beautiful souls. Hope you like it as much as they do :). Big thanks to Mike Greatorex for all the great guitar parts and also Mike Owen for his fantastic Sax parts.

You Keep Me Warm 20240327 Final Demo

Update 9/12/16: Ok .. so here's the basic song .. still very rough and ready but you get the idea .. I hope :)  
It's good to look at our world from space sometimes... it gives us perspective .. such a beautiful , magical place.. yet humanity seems determined to destroy our planet and the freedoms and rights our forefathers and mothers fought so hard for.. don't believe the hype! Wake up World!

Earthquakes and Heartaches

I'm not usually one for writing protest songs, but this just came out.. I couldn't stop myself !

Oh Jeremy Corbyn ( Look what you made me do !)Work in progress

This is a track that has been gathering dust in my library of unfinished works... of which there are many :)  As, like many of us, 
I have plenty of time on my hands during lockdown I decided to dust it off and try to finish it.   Thanks to CJ Williams for taking on the lead vocal and giving it a much more soulful feel than I could ever manage.  Thanks also to my good friend Paul O'Sullivan for recording bass guitar on the track.
Hope you like it... all feedback welcome :)
