Description: This is Jack Burness with one of his songs from the Stanley On The Hill CD which I was very pleased to involved in engineering and part recording. The photo is of me, but the songs and performance is Jack Burness.

Don't expect me to sing this song live! (not without a dreaded crib sheet anyway)

The photo is of me, but the writer and performer of this song is my mate Jack Burness. :-)

Sample excerpts from the album Thoughts For The Masses.  The fine debut album from Pauline Alexander.  The album has been a featured 'album of the week' on BBC Radio Scotland.  Many thanks to Iain Anderson and the team.

I'm just an old amateur folk singer/guitarist just out from the local folk clubs in and around Newcastle, and the North East of England, trying to make his way through the wonderful world of music technology and wherever that takes me.
