Love this upbeat tune!!!! Happy New Year in sunny North Wales 😃

The title song / single & a b-side from a new EP I'll be releasing via usual streaming & download outlets on Fri April 23rd 2021.

There will be an album - 'Afal' - a little later in the year. It's all finished and off to be pressed at the magic vinyl sonic induction factory.

'Have You Seen Lyra Today?' won't be on the album. It had a late night out and this is its punishment. It laughed when I told it.

All these songs were recorded at home.

My neighbours are saints, and my garden is very very overgrown, but you only live once, right?

Thanks for listening / diolch am wrando.

Have You Seen Lyra Today?

Riding The Light

Absentee (Demo)

Cursed

A cover of Bonnie Rait - I Cant Make You Love Me. 

I Cant Make You Love Me

Say hello to the sun
Take the morning as she comes
Leave the afternoon undone
Take the weight off your feet
Leave your dreams upon the sheets
Make another cup of tea
Fill your mind with things to do
Let salvation come to you
Follow where you're going to

Say hello, say hello, say hello to the sun
Say hello, say hello, say hello to the sun

And if you're happy don't feel bad about it will you
And if you're down don't let the need for comfort kill you

Keep your mind in a jar
Fill your pockets full of stars
You might need them where you are
Won't you stay for a while
Solitude is not my style
Take your time but leave a smile

Say hello, say hello, say hello to the sun
Say hello, say hello, say hello to the sun

Take a walk in the park
Stand your ground but leave a mark
Life looks better in the dark
Won't you stay for a while
Loneliness is not my style
Take your time but leave a smile

Say hello, say hello, say hello to the sun
Say hello, say hello, say hello to the sun

Say Hello To The Sun

Recorded live 20 years ago in a big shed/outhouse in Moelfre, North Wales. PZM mic's were used for the Drums. The Drum Kit was an old Brown Sonor, 5 piece. It was recorded Digitally..Quite possibly a Fender Bassman Amp was the Bass set up...Can't comment precisely on the Guitar and Decks set up though...sorry about that..

4 Men, 1 Shed.

I don't normally record cover versions of other people's songs but for some reason this classic Prince tune just stuck in my head. Recorded in the spare room about 8 years ago using some dodgy audio software and a cheap microphone...

When Doves Cry (Cover)

Speechless (mix 1)

Saying Goodbye

Martha's Garden

I've spent most of the past 4 decades singing, playing guitar, performing live, composing and recording songs. No one's really heard these songs except me and the neighbours, so I figured I'd upload them here so that the rest of the planet can have the opportunity to not hear them too.

Enjoy.
