This is my new single. It is called Take the Time and features the wonderful Lauren Kinsella on lead vocals. 
Lauren is an Irish vocalist and composer. Her current projects include the band Snowpoet, who released a wonderful record called ‘Wait for Me’ last year and ‘Skylla’ with Ruth Goller which is a fascinating listen.

This is an acoustic cover of Ingenue by Thom Yorke's project Atoms For Peace, I absolutely love this song and the piano version he did on Jonathan Ross inspired me to make an acoustic rearrangement.

Bridging new wave and progressive rock influences, the song echoes the styles of bands like Tears For Fears and Rush. “Remedy” was co-produced along with Andrew Bishop at the Giant Wafer Studios. The release features the work of illustrator Darlee Urbiztondo.

Welsh artist Becky Winfield released her new single ‘Feel the Rhythm’ on Friday 26th September. 

’Feel The Rhythm’ captures the joyous, sunny atmosphere of festivals and dancing through the night. Through the song, Becky reminisces over a special night, dancing with a loved one and being able to relive that moment. 

The song’s release will be followed by an accompanying music video featuring bachata dancers that gives you a vibrant visualisation of the song’s story. 

The song was written by Becky with guitarist/producer Ryan Elliott and features brothers Matthew Griffiths and Jonathan Griffiths on bass guitar and drums. The song was engineered and co-produced by Andrew Bishop, mixed by Ryan and mastered by Andy ‘Hippy’ Baldwin. 

Feel the Rhythm

How Love Feels by Becky Winfield. Released on 14th November. 

This track took an interesting transformation in the studio from piano and voice into something edgy (and almost grungy) inspired by the 90s. I've always loved this sound world and the no frills approach gave Becky the space to let her vocals fly. Really looking forward to playing this one live. 

Here are the team behind the song.

How Love Feels

Ryan Elliott is a Welsh musician, composer and producer known for his adventurous, distinct and eclectic guitar playing and untempered ambition in writing and performing music.

In May of 2019, Elliott announced that he would be releasing his solo debut album, the music to follow will be a blend of many styles including rock, grunge, progressive rock/metal, dream pop and ballads all with a sense of strong conceptual grandeur of the 80’s: influenced by many artists including Steven Wilson, Bjork, Radiohead, Rush, Tears for Fears, Sting, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Mew, David Bowie and Tool.

The debut single ‘Anything is Possible’ was released on 7th June with more singles to follow leading up to the full length release.

Elliott’s career began at the age of 16 when he started performing extensively as a soloist, for local musical productions such as ‘We Will Rock You’ and with function bands. In 2009, Elliott won the John Tree award for most promising musician in RCT. In 2010, he attained distinctions in RGT guitar grades 6,7,8 within 6 consecutive months before studying at the Academy of Contemporary Music, Guildford where he graduated with a first class honours in 2014.

From 2012 to 2018 Elliott was the leader of progressive rock band, Eden Shadow, who have released two full length albums under Rob Reed’s label White Knight Records, Phases (2014) and Melodies for Maladies (2016), both of which have sold internationally and features a range of guest musicians such as Nik Turner (Hawkwind) and Theo Travis (Steven Wilson/Soft Machine/ Robert Fripp). Melodies for Maladies was released to critical acclaim, being described as ‘a hidden gem’, ‘crazily good album’ and ‘one of the most accomplished and enjoyable progressive metal albums of 2016.’

In 2014, Elliott joined The Kinky Wizzards, the bass guitar and drum duo formed of brothers Miffy and Jiffy to transform the band into an instrumental rock and jazz trio. The band are garnering a reputation as being one of the most audacious and entertaining instrumental bands in the UK. The band regularly perform live, including being invited to the London Drum Show and supporting Frank Zappa’s band ‘The Mothers of Invention’ and Magenta. In March 2017, The Kinky Wizzards released their second album ‘Quirky Musings’ and was well received by listeners as a thoroughly entertaining instrumental album that was compared with the likes of The Aristocrats and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

The Kinky Wizzards are currently writing the follow up to their 2017 LP ‘Quirky Musings’ and go into the studio this summer.

Alongside his own creative endeavours, Elliott dedicates his time to music education, music journalism and  has extensive experience in freelance session work, having recorded for various jazz and pop sessions, played a variety of musicals and regularly performs with function bands.
