Written on Sibelius with 5 xylophones playing. I used an arch form to compose this song - ABCDEFEDCBA 

I hope you enjoy.

This Something

I gave myself the challenge to compose something within the space of half an hour, as I only had that amount of time before heading off to work.. this is the outcome. 

Halfhour

During a busking session in Malvern with the drummer that is Oliver Patton, a local approached us with very kind words. She continued to explain how from a distance she thought she heard her husband (Colin Bentley aka 'Stoner', bassist from bands Doctors of Madness and The Pull) who unfortunately had a tragic death in 2014. She explained how my playing style was very similar to Colin's, and she was taken back by it all as it must of triggered some memories/feelings from when Colin was around. Her being a painter herself she continued to tell us about Colin's stories and his music past, it was an amazing yet saddening interaction with her. And I couldn't thank her enough for the compliments on our music.
We then dedicated our next improvised song to Colin Bentley, naming it - Ode to Colin Bentley.

To find out about Colin, go here and see a tribute beautifully written by his daughter - Lauren Bentley

It's amazed me how something like busking could affect someone in that way...I advise anyone writing/performing music to just go out and play everywhere at every opportunity, because moments like this really make playing worth while!

Winter Blues

This is a recording from a busking session today in Stourbridge. Where I got threatened by someone...."I'll bust you up if you stay". I was stood playing in a spot for 45 minutes when someone approached me very aggressively and threw a lot of unpleasant comments at me, finishing with "Move or I will bust you up in front of all these people"......You'll find a sample of this at the end of the track.
