Thanks for listening to my stuff! 

11 April 2025  - I released my new album 'White Elephant'.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In June 2024, I released a couple of tracks. I Blame Myself is a trailer for my next album, currently in production, and Beautiful Everywhere is a remix of my song Beautiful Somewhere which you can find on my Electrified Volume 2 EP.

In September 2022 I released an EP, 'Electrified Volume 1', which showcases 4 of my songs, which had only ever previously been recorded acoustically, with full band arrangements.


I followed this up with Electrified Volume 2 in June 2023.

I was honoured in March 2022 to present a new release, Unfinished Business - A Tribute To Nick Blair, in  memory of my late friend and musical collaborator.

In 2021 I released a new album, Burning daylight, recorded during the dark days of 2020, with a little help from my friends.

I am a singer-songwriter based near York in the UK. I have been singing, playing and writing since the early 80s. I have written about 200 songs although probably half of them are fit for public consumption. I wrote quite a bit in the 80s and the best of that period is presented as the Hidden Talent,  Rose Tinted Spectacle and Dark Horse albums. Most of the tracks on these albums were re-recorded in 2003 and 2016 respectively but Dark Horse uses the original tapes.

 I wrote very little in the 90s as life got in the way but hit a purple patch of writing between 2002 and 2011 which represents much  of my material on Soundcloud. I'm still writing new songs but am concentrating more on recording some of the older ones.

Between 2005 and 2008 I was in a band called Box of Goats which gigged around the York area playing pubs and festivals (such as the Galtres Festival in 2007 and 2008). The Box of Goats album, which has full band production, is  ' The Universal Theory of Everything'. 

These days I'm in a guitar duo with Mike Scotter called Unarmed Weasel. We play live occasionally.

I plan to continue writing and releasing my songs.

All of my favorite childhood memories are daydreams 

Let it go!

Get it done over a weekend.   From first idea to final product.  That's not why they sux's, but it doesn't help. 

I've kind of got this weird feeling that the post-apocalypse is going to be a little bit shit.

"when the record gets stuck and you get lost in the whirlpool that is miasmic audio. so ive been told, to me its sounds minimalist at best, noisy at worst." 

"im not one for talking about my pieces, preferring to let them speak for themselves. often, if i explained where the inspirations come from i fear it may put off listeners. so with that in mind, here are the words of a listener.

I use to work on an assembly line in a cutting mill, this brought horrible dreams of that back to life, but hey, I could never manifest that experience like this. some amazing things in there, at one point I thought tires were spinning, which brings us to the upcoming winter. all those frustrating things in life are wrapped in this file, lol. even the sombre parts are somewhat wirey and dizzy. for some of it I was not in the same room while it was playing, you'll be happy to know I had to come and check my player to make sure it wasn't "broken" keep doing what you do vurt
