VOTE is my second album and like the first one it has a theme.  These are all political songs about things that worry me, I think you should be worried about them too.  The rise of the far right and media manipulation and misinformation, inequality and environmental issues.  As usual i have strived to make the songs melodic and memorable, not out of an interest in commercialism but because I want to write songs that stay in the consciousness of the listener and hopefully the public, if anyone ever listens to them.

Episode 74: Kate Van Der Borgh

Terry Finch has two projects on Soundcloud, one is a collection of songs about life and the world and my own experiences.  The other is a collection of satirical songs that go under the band pseudonym of "Bloody Bollocks", I prefer not to mix the two together.  I am assuming the listener will be able to tell which is which.
Terry Finch is a professional guitarist with many years experience in many styles.  he has travelled the world as a musician.  All the music available here are written by Terry Finch, copyrighted.  I would like to put a band together to play original material and see if some degree of success could achieved with live performances and internet exposure.  This has proved to be extremely difficult despite a very positive response from audiences.  I hope you like my songs, if you are an interested musician, please contact me, I am in the Surrey area of the UK.  fnchtrry@hotmail.co.uk.
Many thanks Terry
