I threw a box of primary school instruments at The Waterboys' This is the Sea!
This is one of my favourite songfs in the world- it's been with me since teenage years. There's no point trying to get the epic majesty of the original so did something different with it- a little bit funky with a touch of early Floyd psych perhaps.

This is the Sea

Убийства, хелоу китти и ксанакс

Кацураги

Inspired by a lengthy chat Poetry People presenter Rachael Hegarty had with Belfast poet Michael Longley, I decided to explore the process of setting poems to music. Contributions include Mike Scott of The Waterboys, Marita Kerin of Trinity College, and Peter Wilson, or Duke Special, whose wonderful 2017 album 'Hallow' was an entire album of poems by Longley. Seek it out, it's wonderful.

Short Instrumental with a yearning feel, a reprise of the melody of Molly G.

Golly Gee

“She wears her love just like a mask / As brittle as candy . . .”

“This music is the sort to get you bopping joyfully without even realising it. Loads of cheeky lyrics and strutting guitars. It could have been made yesterday, five years ago or ten years ago . . . music that any girl in a flowery dress with a ’60s haircut is bound to love – one for the students.” – Scout at Besonic

Darkened Images

A nighttime song in ¾ time. Elements of folk-rock, listless harmonica break and sounds of an alien. Maybe Dylan and Pogues influences.

Peaceful

I am an artist, writer and musician from Hastings, UK.  I make slightly wonky acoustic folk-pop, often with unusual guitar tunings.
I record my own songs, musical versions of my own poetry and poems by my favourite poets such as Rilke and Yeats. 
Musically my current obsession is Judee Sill.
But it always comes back to the music of my childhood- The Cocteau Twins, The Waterboys, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush.

PETE GIOCONDA is a unique, edgy singer, a protest poet with penchant for historical reference. This mix of punk attitude and psychedelic-folk feel teases the audience to see through new eyes ... like a Johnny Rotten (who hasn’t slept in four days) meets Times They Are a-Changin’-era Dylan and strolls into Cat Power’s bedroom for consolation.

Out now on Bandcamp -
* THE TIME OF GREAT WASTE (single)
* WE ARE REAL EP (5 tracks)
* SAVE YOUR DREAMS EP (6 tracks)

Later in 2025 -
* UP YOU (album of 14 tracks)

Pete Gioconda's songs are fused from new wave, pop and folk/rock influences, mingling poetic lyrics with a punk attitude and playful unpretentiousness. Youthful songs of mischief, desire, loss and sadness, plus transcendent perceptions.

Pete has taken the empty culture of materialism and is attempting to untangle it. His song “Hey You, Out with Shopping Bags” acquired new meaning in the wake of 2011 looting. Shadow shopping. The unseen forces which control our perception, which leave us “dreaming of money gods”, form the subject of “Wake Up or Be Captured”. “In one sense, 1970s punk had it easy,” Pete comments. “All it had to do was attack nice fluffy hippies. It’s much harder now, because mainstream youth culture is filled with aggressive patsies of consumerism. Being aggressive back doesn’t work. I’ve tried. It just makes minds smaller.”

“Some people make shopping mall music. Big, calm, blandly elegant. Somewhere to pass the time and feel comfortable. Pete does not make that kind of music. He makes the music of cobblestone streets, winding alleys, shady lanes. Dimly lit bars. The music of cold, still dawns. Of desolate, wild country.” - Nomenclature Standard

Pete’s poetic style is influenced by the freedom he found hitching and wandering in his 20s, and by his love of classic literature. His aim is to merge story, theatre and poetry with his music and songs. In 2008, Pete performed many Bristol-written songs live on BBC3 TV’s “Upstaged”, as guest of performance artist/musician Badgertrap.

struggling still, but we gotta stay positive!

Hi, I started out singing in the 60's. I played in several groups, made a few records. Never went fully pro just played youth clubs, pubs, and socials. 

I play a little guitar and piano just mainly chords and I write a few songs. I purchased a Tyros work station keyboard about 14 years ago and started recording many songs mainly covers. Hope you enjoy listening to some of them.
