Pristine and effortless, note perfect. Could listen all day.

This quickly-recorded cover version of "Autumn Is Your Last Chance" was a submission for a Robyn Hitchcock tribute album. It appears the label never released the album, but a friend-in-common told us Robyn liked our version, which meant much, much more.

Autumn Is Your Last Chance (cover)

Sligo River Blues (a bit rough).wav

There's a lake that's blue and green and gray
It's there for you to play and splash and spend the day
And sleep the night away

You can go alone, you don't be scared
Nothing bad can happen when you're there as you get brown and bare
And wet leaves in your hair

There's docks and boats, a log that floats and rolls when you climb on
There's friends to make and dogs that shake their fur off on your face
There's ropes to swing and rocks to fling that skip and skip and sink
There's copper skies, a full moon rise and fireflies you catch and keep beside you in a jar

Just lie down where you are
Warm sand under the stars
You know we won't be far

Mom and Dad will miss you while you're gone
We know it won't be long till you wake with the dawn
And stretch and sigh and yawn
Tomorrow comes along
We'll sing another song
And be where we belong

Goodnight

Freddie's Lullaby

I'm recording a new LP, which will appear some time next winter. Here's a demo of one of the songs 'Raymond And The Wires' recorded in Cardiff with Charlie Francis on piano.

Raymond And The Wires

This is a demo from Perspex Island. Robyn performed it live circa 1990-1992, but it didn't make the cut for the LP. With the Egyptians...(Sorry, the last upload stopped playing in the middle of the song...)

She Carried It All

Guitar Junkie

A quick song, I hope you enjoy it. 
Lyrics:

The force that 
Moves mountains
Is what does
Draw me to you 

I’ll rest in 
Your valley
The lowlands
Yield and receive 

So empty
So full I feel

Nourished 
In fertile fields 

Where silence
It rings in my ears

Devotion

Fewer mistakes and a better overall take. I hope you enjoy.

Lyrics:

Neighbour of night
Hold me in my dreams
And give them to the day
For all of life to be

The world that meets my eyes
Works in you the same
As birds go flying by
Into our hearts they came

Hang all the stars inside
From deepest ruby nights
So that they point the way
To skies in you that stay

Two people bound beyond
Their parted present found
Are lands that held a light
A common sun and sound

Hold the space around
For peace and for place
For love that burns away
Like first light did fade

Hang all the stars inside
From deepest ruby nights
So that they point the way
To skies in you that stay
To skies in you that stay
To skies in you that stay
To skies in you that stay

Skies In You (Newer)

Gold Dust, sort of.. I was messing around in an open tuning when this kinda landed out of nowhere.. bit rough n' ready but thought I'd share it.. will definitely record again when I replace these very dead strings.
