This is the place where I upload the odd little instrumentals I make while I'm trying to get round to recording odd little vocal tracks.

Thankyou for listening. I have been overwhelmed at gigs lately by comments and messages of support for my music. One day I'll learn to promote myself online! 

A no nonsense, honest British songwriter, I am inspired by the extremes in life - from the darkest, grubbiest corners to the most shimmering, life-affirming stories. My songs therefore range from songs like 'Me and the Taxi Driver' about a man searching for his missing junky son night after night, and 'Hard Drinking Man' which, told from the woman's viewpoint, deals with the difficulties of living with an alcoholic husband - to songs like 'Music', the song which won me the Bristol Songwriting Competition a couple of years ago, and is an uplifting, celebratory song about the healing power of music - to 'Blessing' a simple love song told honestly. I don't necessarily always go for the obvious and l am often attracted to giving a voice to a story not often told -   it occurred to me once that looking after somebody with Alzheimer's disease was about the most loving thing you could do because you were giving without expecting anything in return - i then wrote the song 'Cold' which is essentially a love song about caring for a partner with this kind of condition. 

I've written hundreds of songs. Sometimes I try to write them all down and count them, but as I tend to write more each week almost, this has become a really difficult task. I write in crowded places - at the bar, on the train... I also like to write in my camper van when I'm on my travels.

Over the years I've worked with a lot of great musicians and sound engineers, including Portishead's Jim Barr, and I've co-written with some great London songwriters. Currently I'm working with a great, country 'Emmylou Harris' style singer in a duo called Larkham And Hall (www.facebook.com/larkhamandhallmusic)

All of my albums can be found and purchased from i-tunes, CD baby and Bandcamp.

Much as I enjoy performing, my great passion in life remains writing songs, and I'm now looking to place my songs in the hands of people who know where they would work best - in film, advert or TV, or even to be covered by established artists.

For more information please get in touch with me, I'm always happy to have a chat about music.

‘A rough, gruff and tumble voice that pulls away at lyrics this good is the kind of daydream we need in England to reignite a spark for credible new songwriters.Fans of folk, poetry and rock ‘n’ roll should pay attention to this wholly earnest and breathtakingly awe inspiring rogue' alex lee thomspon NME london

'Remember the very first time you heard Tom Waits and you thought: "No way"? It's like that with Elliot Hall of Bristol . All is shot through with a rare honesty - never do the subject matter or lyrics feel phony. Hall is what Ray LaMontagne pretends to be. He is heroic and compelling'. venue magazine

Pour réduire les distances qui les séparent, une poignée de potes passionnés de musique crée le site Radio Chantier en 2007. 
L’idée première était de continuer à se partager et se faire découvrir les nouveautés, les coups de cœurs et les vieilles pépites glanés au hasard 
des disquaires, des rencontres, des soirées et des longues heures passées sur le net.
Peu à peu de nouveaux camarades se sont joints à ce “syndicat du gros son“ et grossissent les rangs du Chantier à Paris, Marseille, Glasgow, Lausanne... et cette connexion enrichie le blog de podcasts et de mix.
Pas de musique sans partage, mais pas de musique sans rencontre, donc en 2009, les ouvriers de Radio Chantier sortent de l’ombre et distillent leurs playlists Funk/Soul/HipHop/Afrobeat partout où l’on veut
bien d’eux (La Dame Noir, Le Cannibale Café, Bar le Duke, Bar le Zelda, Le café Cigale…).
En 2012, Radio Chantier décide de voir plus gros et monte une association loi 1901 dans le but d’organiser des concerts Hip Hop et des évènements culturels sur Marseille. 
L’objectif est clair, proposer un autre style de Hip Hop/Soul/Funk dans la citée phocéenne.
