Taking a speech by the politician Tony Benn about the Iraq, composing music and moods to reflect this impassioned anti war plea. I have consciously tried to make the listener uncomfortable in places, to reflect the discomfort of the decision in hand.

In an age where politicians are distrusted, I wanted to show case a man who held to his principles and fought for them(and for others).

The greatest betrayal of all (Feat. Tony Benn)

Rewind (demo)

An old song, rough demo made with the producer Ed Case about 2008/9.  Used to play this live a lot, good tune, good hooks....

I was commissioned by Disney & Haygarth to write & produce some music for the Wonder of Friendship experience.  

Launching in 5 countries, the Wonder of Friendship celebrates 100 years of Disney and their iconic characters through and immersive and interactive experience.

The brief was to create a 7 minute piece which accompanied an interactive light show; it had to timed with and synced with video and build to several differing crescendos.  It combines electronic and classical styles and varies with melody to keep it interesting. A last addition included soundbites of Disney characters to help tie the track to the brand.

The track was mastered at Abbey Road by Simon Gibson.

Disney - The Wonder of Friendship

A dance track. inspired by the spiritual teacher / Zen master Alan Watts.  Overthinking and chatter in the skull: we are so caught up in our minds we've lost our senses. Time to wake up.

A little tune about time travel and meeting someone you wish you'd known better...

Hi!  I am a singer songwriter, guitarist and musician from London, UK.

I love making music and being creative; up for collaboration, hearing new things and being inspired.

I play / sing on all tracks (except where you hear drums).  My stuff is rock / indie, heavily influence by The Beatles, Stones, Queen etc.  

Recently I have discovered the joys of more electronic sounds and trying to use voice audio from well know sources to tell a story.... much easier than writing lyrics and singing.

Either way, welcome, I hope you like... or if you hate, great too.  Better to get a reaction than no reaction.
