2024 NGC

So here's the much anticipated new release for 2024, my 12th album 'Heart Of Blue'.

'Heart Of Blue'

'Gilded' has been longer than usual in the waiting! I hope it's in keeping and catches the ear. 

It's definitely got my phrasing and hallmarks, hope you like the harmonies and rhythm under the solo. 

Lyrics were the last to go on here so some things never change! Hopefully this will be the catalyst for the next few tracks which are developing nicely.

Ok so this is probably my last release of the year! This has all the classic ingredients, stompin' beat, jangle guitars, wah wah solo, strong chorus, traditional middle 8 and yeah yeah yeah's! 
All together it's been a productive year and I hope the airplay and success from the last album The Perfect Storm continues with the next album for 2024. 
Have a happy and peaceful Christmas!

A solo instrumental for a change here. The Les Paul pictured on song with a bluesy ballad 'Renaissance' for february and the next album. 
It's been quieter here on Soundcloud however the studio is busy with the backlog. Notably 5 tracks in varying stages nearing completion soon to be set free. Watch this space.
Keep on keeping on.

After the relative simplicity of 'Renaissance' here's the contradiction in styles and bigger production of 'Take It Back Home'. 
Really enjoyed bringing this one together and I'm getting into my funky bass lines I think it's an addiction! 
Tried and tested Les Paul and Marshall combination banging out the rock with an infectious NickG chorus and some psychedlia thrown in to spice it up from 2.27 onwards. 
This has focused the mind, it's reminiscent of tracks from my first album 'The Black Tulip' where multiple tracks are layered and melodies conjoin. It's a lot of fun and hopefully the end result works for you too.

A brooding new rocker with light and shade. Chunky Les Paul rhythm similar to  'To The Floor', catchy harmonies, funky bass and a cheeky solo naturally!  
It keeps me running.

Kept Me Running

No chance I would usually have released a 5 minute track prior to this album's completion but this is the exception. A double chorus banger sang from the heart and guitar lines that upped the ante. Second Single from the latest album 'Heart Of Blue' released Sept 2024. 

There's a fair bit to get across in here and I so hope it delivers.

Final track for the latest album 'Heart of Blue'. 
It's a rocker with punchy d tuned guitars, uplifting harmonic middle 8, ethereal 60's esque backwards guitar solo and lots of drive.

Gibson Cherry Dot obsession continues. Inspired by exciting grooves and a 60’s vibe which I wear on my sleeve. There’s an eclectic mix of guitar fuelled rhythms all written, produced and performed by myself which have now culminated in 226 tracks in 5 years. Having added vocals to the mix this has brought a further depth and individuality to the songs. 2020 saw the creativity in writing and self releasing 2 EP's and 9 albums 'The Black Tulip' , 'Prismatic' , 'Who Would You Be?' , 'The Red Carpet', 'Cat & Mouse', ‘How This Plays Out', 'Positive Signs', 'All The Colours' and  '9' from April 2022, it's frenetic.
These are available on the usual outlets Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Pandora/Napster, Bandcamp etc.

Its eclectic, quirky I confess, British? Experimental in places but above all stuffed full with Gibson guitars, energy and a passion for music and life in the highs and lows that days of late bring.  Hope you appreciate the artwork too all photographed or produced by me to keep it authentic and original.

The tenth album 'Keep On' saw the development of style and flow which  includes my personal favourites 'The Things That You Love', 'Man on The Run' and the title track, 'Keep On'. These all adapted a different approach and development that simply wouldn't have occurred at the start of the journey,  

The music's progressing and the album 'The Perfect Storm' set the benchmark in online attention with the title track single. I think the style and sincerity of performance mirrored the fact that all of my tracks are written for a reason and sparked by quite intense life changing events behind the scenes, you couldn't write it or maybe I could ! 
Personal choices at the moment are the opener Can't Erase The Memory, I Can and of course the single The Perfect Storm. 

Twelfth album ‘Heart Of Blue’, is completed and recently released  September 6th 2024. It's been a while (for me) in the making and each track just builds on the last. The themes of resilience, belief and positivity remain and the music continues to be guitar driven and punchy with hooks and catchy melodies.  

Album 13 is entitled 'Every Time' and is released to all platforms on June 12th. To come so quickly after 'Heart Of Blue' says a lot about the inspiration and creative drive. Themes of resilience, perseverance, hope and love, dominate in what I believe is my most cognitive and mature album yet, see what you think.
 
I'm thankful the creativity continues. The fact the writing and playing still excites and intrigues is a bonus! Where there's a story to tell and a melody to be heard the last song is always my drug for the next, 13 albums in it's not abating anytime soon.
