The second movement of Britten's Simple Symphony, arranged for electric guitar quintet... all played by me :)

Playful Pizzicato (Benjamin Britten)

I recorded a load of funky, punky, trashy guitar riffs and one unashamedly flashy solo, then set about chopping them up into little bits and assembling the whole mess over a cheesy techno drumbeat. No, I'm not sure why, either...

The Wrong Idea

My first band... I was 14 or 15 and nowhere near as good a guitarist as I thought I was!

Eric and the Elastic Ukeleles - Reject Line 3 Million

Another from the first band, probably 1984. I think this was the outro solo from another version of Reject Line 3 Million. And like most of our songs, it descended into an inept and overlong guitar solo.

Eric and the Elastic Ukeleles - untitled

This is a version of 'Peaches en Regalia' that I recorded in 2007. It's pretty much the same as the original, but all the horn, keyboard and percussion sounds are played on guitar.

Whitethroat on Epsom Downs

A yellowhammer near Ockley in Surrey, never quite getting to the "cheeeese".
