Ships Mess

This is by no means finished - it was the 50ish recording of it and I didn't exactly have the most lavish recording room (see song pic). I mainly did this for myself to try to start to train my voice and I'm really hoping to be able to make it much better than it is currently. I have no ownership of the song's copyright. Talk to the amazing Of Monster's and Men for that.

Dirty Paws Cover 1

I made this cover of Breakeven by The Script for some friends who had a funny experience at a spa, which turned out to be a nudist spa. Guys - you shall remain nameless (you know who you are!)

Showing My Pieces (Breakeven Cover)

Fiddle and Keyboards/Synths – Matthew Woolley, Bass Guitar – Matt Smith

Rockhopper is not a standard one-style album. From the traditional Folk style of The Golden Rose to the Funk instrumental Chocolate, from the fast-paced tunes of The Ships Mess set, to the slow-building ambient feel of Nohambo Iphengwini (roughly translated as “African Penguin” in Swahili), this album is a belly-sliding journey through my musical thoughts and aspirations and I hope that you enjoy your ride through my first album.
