The Insta Crowd

Here they come
Walking down
Into town
Real live wires
On a dead-end street
To the Circolo 
Or the place to go
Or the face to meet
An Influencer
A dream dispenser
The way you make them feel
But behind the screens
Of the Insta queens
The reel is so unreal

They’re always somewhere Instagrammable
Somewhere so hot that it’s inflammable
And where the lingo’s understandable
And not one person’s incompatible  

You know it really doesn’t matter where they go
As long as it’s an Instaworthy show
There’s only loud and proud allowed
When you’re in with the Insta crowd

Imperfection
Cool deception 
Self worth nothing at all
From your miracle balms
To your Miss Self Harms
It isn’t far to fall
Young lives curated
Like babes incubated
But it’s hard to face
When your happiness
Has been uninstalled 

They’re always somewhere Instagrammable
Somewhere so hot that it’s inflammable
And where the lingo’s understandable
And not one person’s incompatible

You know it really doesn’t matter where they go
As long as it’s an Instaworthy show
There’s only loud and proud allowed
When you’re in with the Insta crowd

Big Ben
London Eye
Awesome garden in the sky
Sunset
Harry’s bed
Finally on my private jet
Booty camp
I need coffee
Aliens please come get me, me, me, me

They’re always somewhere Instagrammable
Somewhere so hot that it’s inflammable
And where the lingo’s understandable
And not one person’s incompatible

You know it really doesn’t matter where they go
As long as it’s an Instaworthy show
There’s only loud and proud allowed
When you’re in with them

They’re always somewhere Instagrammable
Somewhere so hot that it’s inflammable
And where the lingo’s understandable
And not one person’s incompatible

You know it doesn’t
matter where they go
As long as it’s Instaworthy
There’s only loud and proud allowed
When you’re in with the Insta crowd

It doesn’t matter where they go
As long as it’s Instaworthy
There’s only loud and proud allowed
When you’re in with the Insta crowd

The Insta Crowd

My kids say 'pop, you'll never get far'. I say 'kids, I'm going to be a pop star'.

Yup, I'm an unlikely pop star, and at the time in life when I should be heading towards retirement, rather than global superstardom.

My singing career began at a world-renowned Cambridge choir school. But it didn’t take too many 6am choir practises to persuade me that my passion was less for St Matthew, and more for pop. I'll always remember standing on desks, belting out Elton John numbers acapella at bemused classmates.

I also learned to play drums at school, and spent 1985 as drummer with The Cambridge Footlights on their ‘Topical Heatwave’ UK tour.

In 1997, I helped form six-piece covers band, Coverstar. Over the next twenty-four years, we would become each other’s second family.

Then in March 2021, I finally released my début EP, ‘Where the Elephants Go’ – a collaboration with my Coverstar bandmates Rob Carter and Paul Solman. It's fair to say that without them, the elephants wouldn't have gone anywhere.
