Recorded during the first lockdown in 2020, me and the brilliant Bobby Taylor recorded a cover of one of our favourite Beatles tunes "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" from the 1964 album "Beatles For Sale". 

We intended to do a video for this but never gotten around to it and was just left lying around so I thought I'd share it. 

Bobby Taylor - Lead and Harmony Vocal (John Lennon Parts)

I Dont Want To Spoil The Party (Beatles Cover)

Loving this tune at the moment so grabbed the Uke, learnt the chords and made a quick recording of it!

There's a Place (Beatles Cover)Ukulele

So I've decided to try and tackle the immensely complex harmonies of Brian Wilson! One of my favourite Beach Boys tracks this one was originally planned for the ill fated SMiLE project but ended up being released first on the 20/20 album. 

Our Prayer (The Beach Boys Cover)

I do so many cover gigs these days people are asking if i actually write music. Well the answer is not as often as i'd like to these days so i thought id post a few demos for Jingles and incidental music I've been asked to write for a few projects. These are home demos so quite rough around the edges but i'm pretty pleased with some of the ideas. 

"Magazine Jingle"
I was asked to provide an upbeat 90's rock kinda tune for a student magazine show. I tried to channel Joe Satriani in this one. Very cheesy but very fun to do!

"Sinister" 
This was for a short film which needed something creepy and unsettling. i always wanted to do a slow, brooding track that builds in intensity and I really like the outro riff on this one, quite heavy for what i'm used to writing. Theres a fairly obvious drum sample happening too ;-)

"Unloveable"
This was for another student film which was a sitcom. The brief was to create something quite British sounding but with a fun element to it. I tried to go for a similar sound to a Ringo Starr Beatles track here, quite fun and jaunty.
