8-I’m Not Walter Mitty

Written in 2008 this piece of music represents a challenge made by my friend to create a Christmas Song. Perhaps not a Christmas song, but a winter song.

So... Completed another year around the sun this weekend... As I am aging I can not help but reflect on what I journey I've had so far... So many memories... as I sit behind my grand piano in candle light, watching the rain fall and recount my life in sound... Enjoy

Washing Away The Memories

This track is from my new album A Detective For Sale which is now available on Bandcamp:

A Detective For Sale

Chase in Manhattan

Into the Blue

North Star is an uplifting song about seeing the light in someone, even if they don’t see it in themselves, and how you use their light to guide your way home in the dark. How you can see them glowing, the spark that surrounds them and appreciate their strength and compassion through life’s hardships.

Fast Trains are an alternative band from Portsmouth, England led by songwriter/producer, Tom Wells. A modern take on heroes like XTC, Radiohead and Elbow, their thoughtful yet accessible music has led to international songwriting awards, rousing festival performances, national support tours, and a wealth of radio play from BBC 6 Music, Amazing Radio, BBC Introducing and more.

Since releasing debut album Escape to ourWorld in January 2025, Fast Trains have grown into an electrifying live act, combining their rich, anthemic sound with intense dynamics and crafting moments that live long in the memory.

Undiscovered? Perhaps. Unmissable? Definitely.

It’s time to escape.

“Rich and beautifully produced.” — Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music

“Absolutely superb.” — Charlie Ashcroft, Amazing Radio

“Inventively melodic, harmonically clever, sparkling and invigorating.” — Neil March, Trust the Doc

“Crafting anthemic, quirky pop, reminiscent of Field Music, it’s of no surprise that Fast Trains are rapidly picking up support, with a solid, ever-growing fanbase and airplay pouring in for these undoubtedly radio-friendly tunes.” – The Unsigned Guide
