Never mind

A folk /rock/pop song about a controlling relationship, now broken.  
Many thanks to Zoe Cochrane for singing this song with just the right sassy attitude.  Thanks also to Malcthep for the bass and encouragement; Chris Dempsey for his encouragement and his help with the mix; Michelle Hutcheson for suggesting Zoe as my singer and to Anne Macdonald and Levi the Cat for the photograph!!

CAT’S GOT THE CREAM

A song dealing with families coping with the early stages of dementia in a loved one, being there for them, and continuing to surround them with support and love.   

Memory Lane

A folk song about deception, lies and pretence.  Got through to the UK Song Writing Contest Semi Finals 2024.

Lady Marianna

One of my strongest memories from my childhood was visiting my Aunt's home to find a huge half completed jigsaw sitting on the table. My Aunt loved her jigsaws and she always seemed to have one on the go. She passed away just before Christmas and memories of her jigsaws came back to me. This song is for my beloved Aunt who I will miss so much. She is a flower who will never die in my heart. Many thanks to my great friend Malcolm MacPherson for the bass.

Some Flowers Never Die

Before

I lack the wherewithal to do what I want to do. Always have. Always will.  Wish I did though.

Lazy

A homage to our arboreal friends, by an old failed (felled ?) tree-hugger. My thanks go to Chris Dempsey, who nurtured it all from seed.  P.S. I wrote it as "it's my be-leaf", until I was told that no-one wood twig.....

Trees

A song about never being too old to Rock. With my grateful thanks to the excellent Bill Passmore for his lead guitar and to Malcolm MacPherson for his unerring Bass. Rock on.

Old Man

A song about a mother's love. With many thanks to Malcolm MacPherson for the Bass.
