I wanted to record another track where I could play my mandolin and I had heard this song previously and thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to record this song which features a mandolin. It is a lovely song and I hope you like my version of it.

Green Fields Of France

I thought it might be fun to take a very twee song and see if I could make it a bit more 'metal'. So this is my 'heavier' version of "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany. I had a bit of a giggle doing it, but the guitar solo wasn't easy that's for sure!
Hope you like it.

I Think We're Alone Now

Well this is just a short song but blimey it is a doozy. Really high vocals, insane bass line and crazy guitar chords made with alternate voicings to normal. It is an absolute rock classic though so I really wanted to give it a go and here is the result. I hope you like it.

Immigrant Song

Hi, This is my second track recorded during a week away from work. I love Ultravox, so it is always a pleasure to do a cover of one of their songs. I hope you like it.

The Voice

Hi all, this is the third and final track I recorded whilst on holiday. You can never go wrong with a beatles song, so I hope you like my version of this classic.
