I've never tried recording like this before, and although I don't think I've nailed it, I am quite pleased with the result. 

I know this song doesn't mention Christmas, and it doesn't mention snow or anything even remotely wintery, but it WAS a Christmas Number One, and is utterly bloody wonderful.

(Plus, this song and that bit in The Office, where Dawn comes back to the disco and kisses Tim and it's amazing and then you cry and drink more gin…you know…that bit)

Only You - Acapella

I think I shall be pretentious and make a three-part epic song about Baba Yaga. Yes, that seems like a good plan to me.

Lyrics:
I used to look into the sky, on the horizon there would be
a little black cloud way up high with a whole lot of rain for me
it followed me like a shadow would,
never gave me a moments peace
rained on me whenever it could, when I expected it the least
Chorus
but when it rains I'll watch the flowers grow
and in the dark I'll find a face in the moon
and when I live I'll live each day like my last
and it won't be a moment too soon
and when I love it will be with my heart and soul
and I will never be afraid to fall
and that little black cloud won't hold me back
because tomorrow doesn't come for us...
Verse 2
So I took a sideways look at myself, it was then that I could see
that my misfortune had become a self fulfilling prophecy
so i'm gonna search for the good in everything
and when that black cloud is overhead, 
I'll walk towards the sun instead
Chorus
and now I know the meaning of a life lived to the full
because a life lived in shadows is not living much at all
and i'm gonna search for the good in everything
and when that black cloud's overhead, 
I'll walk towards the sun instead
Chorus
but when it rains I'll watch the flowers grow
and in the dark I'll find a face in the moon
and when I live I'll live each day like my last
and it won't be a moment too soon
and when I love it will be with my heart and soul
and I will never be afraid to fall
and that little black cloud won't hold me back
because tomorrow doesn't come for us all.

A few snippets to whet your appetite for the new album - released 29/7/16

Made In England

Lead singer with West Suffolk's least serious rock covers band, Beergut 100.  When not belting out AC/DC covers, I sing soul, motown, pop and anything else that can make people dance. I am also responsible for some appalling ukulele playing. Can usually be found with a pint of Gin & Tonic and a guilty expression. Requests welcomed, unless they end in 'off'.
