Here's a new song for everybody, featuring my Dad's 1950's Hofner President, and plenty of Do wah's. Hope you like it. Thanks Rob for helping with the research!

Cheesy Moon

Silent Tiger

This is Sara Lily's first song, based on a true story. She wrote the lyrics and music, played the banjo on the keyboard and sang it live!
If you like it have a think about the guys you know with nowhere to go.


The Hobo Song

Rock The World

My latest tunes from the last year or so. Take a listen. I hope you enjoy.


10 Good day

11 Homecoming

12 Summer rain

This is broadly original from Leona, with some guitar additions from me, and a little twist at the bridge. I hope you like it. I thought the Red Special would go well with Leona's voice. It's for her Talenthopuse competition.

Trouble - Michemix

This is my first song from Winter 2012, it has all the lush guitars, and luxurious backing that you'd expect from Mike Donald, with influences from 1950 to last week all in under 4 minutes. Enjoy. Better get on with the next one now!

Indigo

This song is about George Mallory's 1924 Mount Everest Expedition. He famously said he , decided to climb Everest "because it's there". There is considerable evidence to suggest that although George Mallory never made it home, he did in fact reach the summit and was the first person ever to do so. He's still up there to this day.

Danger Zone

I live in Scotland in the country with 3 kids and a lovely wife. I fit music around my work, and tend to write most when I'm travelling and then bring the ideas to life when I get back. Music has been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I play guitar, Piano and Violin, and sing when I need to. I was 11 when I wrote my first songs for "GAM". By 16 I was playing covers in clubs with my Dad as "Migrant". At Uni I was in the Ents crew and worked for The Damned, Deacon Blue, RunRig and others, and did some lighting work as well. I played in more local club bands, and have always written my own stuff. Around 2000 I was playing regularly with MERLIN, doing Scottish & Covers, for weddings, holiday resorts, Hotels etc. SInce the kids came along I've stuck to home recording using the internet to share my work. But who knows... I might get back out there one of these days!
