All of our releases gathered together in a single playlist. It's named 'Swansongs' because we mostly play these songs, and more, at a local pub called The Swan. They're all performed and arranged by just ourselves. Recording, mixing and mastering takes place at home. Hope you enjoy them!

Al~Fi, Swansongs

My favourite creation & production projects; a mix of covers (with Fiona, aka "Al~Fi", solo and using backing tracks) and also some of my own compositions (instrumentals as well as songs performed by "StreetLife" *). Enjoy listening!

* Originally produced by Annie Prie Minister and later remixed / remastered by me.

My Favourite Productions

A remix of a recording by StreetLife. I wrote the song after a summers day walk in the countryside near my home. The walk took in a disused railway viaduct on the outskirts of the town where I live. The song tells some of the story of the viaduct and it's builder George Hudson (aka 'The Railway King') and the ancient River Wharfe that the viaduct crosses.

The River Always Flows [AT remaster]

Fiona and I have been playing this lovely John Denver song together for a good while now, so we thought it was high time that we made a proper recording of us performing it. We’re really pleased with it. Featuring Fiona on fiddle, me on ukuleles, keyboard bits ’n’ bobs, vocals and the production gubbins. Thanks for listening.

Leaving on a Jet Plane

Here's our latest recording, our own arrangement of a lovely Frank Loesser song from 1948. We're really pleased with how it's turned out. Hope you enjoy it and listen out for the really high note in Fiona's super fiddle solo!

On A Slow Boat To China

Our version of a lovely middle period Beatles song. Really pleased with how it has come out, especially how well the sitar has blended with Fiona's fiddle to create a hybrid sound. We like it, hope you do too!

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)

A new version of our first recording together featuring re-recorded vocals. Also re-mixed and re-mastered.

We both really love this early ‘30s song. We enjoy playing it together at a local pub session a lot, so we decided to record ourselves performing it properly. It’s in the style of Paul McCartney’s version, featuring Fiona’s gorgeous fiddle part with Alan on vocals, ukuleles and some keyboard bits and bobs.

It's Only A Paper Moon [new version]

Our latest recording is a song that we have only recently started playing together, George Gershwin's wonderful 'Summertime'. We opted for a mellow / stripped back version to go alongside the other 25,000+ recorded versions.

Summertime

My first real effort in GarageBand on my iPad and based on a I V Vi iV chord progression in C.

Awesome Axis

Hi, I’m Alan T from North Yorkshire, UK. I enjoy creating music with ukuleles (four, five, eight and ten string'ers), some keyboard and singing. I make music solo and with Fiona as part of our duo ‘Al~Fi’. She brings her talent on fiddle to our recordings and also mandolin from time to time. I produce music using GarageBand. I also play and sing with the band 'StreetLife' (check out our SoundCloud below). I hope you enjoy these songs and thanks very much for listening!
