It’s what young colts dream of: being on the road, playing shows, living a musicians dream… sadly few actually have that opportunity. Sons of Morpheus do, but they know: It brings sweaty shows and fans lurking for autographs on the bright side. However dragging gear into a bus at 4am, drenched boxes of vinyl, broken or broken-into cars and corrupt custom-officers on the other side. It’s both ups and downs but for Sons of Morpheus (maybe just for the sake of it?) a life worth living.

Songs To Get Hitched To is a professional, music performance service from me, Alan R Davison. In short, I can re-work your favourite song(s) to create a personal performance to suit your special day.

I started Songs To Get Hitched To following numerous kind requests by close friends to perform songs for their weddings – before, during and after the main ceremony. I’m happy to say all the performances have gone very well! Previous cover requests include artists such as Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Tom Petty, Snow Patrol, Queen, Adele and Semisonic to name a few.  

As a unique addition to this service I also offer the option of a recorded version of the chosen track(s), in the style they were performed for the ceremony. Alternatively I can supply the recorded version for playback in case couples weren’t planning on having a live performance on the day. 

Also ask about CD/vinyl/cassette artwork packaging and full, professional graphic design service for any of your communications and decorative elements for the wedding day.

New Album... INNER WORLD - Out May 21st (Lyrically Speaking)

 
Influences from the 60s and 70s sweep through her bittersweet authentically stunning songs – which embrace the unique vibes of folk, country and blues. With a myriad of influences in particular to the great Kirsty MacColl and Sandy Denny, Donna Fullman is set to become one of the great singer songwriters to emerge from the UK.
 
This eleven track album was recorded at the prestigious Homesick Recording Studios with Producer Simon Janes (Mary Hampton, Bonobo, My Little Problem). It was recorded with a string of exceptionally talented musicians including Nelson Day (The Beautiful Word), Paul Holland (Definition of Sound), Ben Townsend (Lucky Jim), Andrew Stuart Buttle (Common Tongues).
 
“When I write, I feel I’ve understood something. A deep knowing and a connection to the truth of something. I find that deeply satisfying but also revealing. I’d love people to get that same connection by listening to it and the space to consider stuff for themselves.”
Donna Fullman, Interview excerpt 2010
 
Born within the sound of the Bow Bells, Donna grew up with rock and roll from her fathers jukebox. Moving from London to Brighton and accepted into Brighton Institute of Modern Music with her voice as her only instrument, she immersed herself in learning the guitar and honing her songwriting skills. It’s been a long journey to get to this point.
 
“Donna Fullman has superseded Tom Waits, Anjani, Madeleine Peyroux and Adele on my playlist”
Caroll Pinkham, Vision Unlimited
 
Donna completed a tour of New England in 2011 following a debut performance at the annual Eve Rising Festival, Massachusetts, with shows in NYC, Boston and New Jersey. She also supported folk darlings Seth Lakeman and Cara Dillon back home in the UK, as well as playing key shows for the Festival of Britain at the Southbank Centre (London) and Brighton Festival at the Dome.

Me & Mr. Cassidy is what you get when you put two songbirds and their musical friends on stage in front of adoring listeners. Playing together since October, 2010, Hope Leigh Rollins and Scott Cassidy have grown from small back-room shows to the stages of House of Blues and XM Sirius Radio, filling each room with their infectious singer-songwriter sound that has been built and crafted through the two minds together. Scott, with his passion for classics like James Taylor and Fleetwood Mac, brings his golden-oldie-folk taste to the same table where Hope brings her love of brighter pop music from artists like Ingrid Michaelson and Adele.
​
The band's first album, "Volume 1" (2011), uses all 12 tracks to tell the story of two lovers throughout their lives together. Following their first release, both were eager to take their writing back to reality, and in 2013, released their sophomore album, "I Would Love You So..." with songs reflecting on their own personalities, feelings and relationships.
​
And as their sound has grown, their band has grown. With anything from backup singers and pianos to violins and harps, they hope that each stage, each recording, and each performance brings their songs to life in new ways for the listener. Be sure to catch them as they continue onward and upward in their own story.

My Name is Michael Allen,

25 From Sheffield South Yorkshire,

I started singing from the age of 12 at School with My Music Teacher who taught me how to play Piano and my first ever solo was Let It Be By The Beatles in front of The School.

As a Child I had always dreamed of been on The Stage performing Week In Week out Entertaining People and following in the foot steps of My Grandfather.

As a Child I was Friends with a Certain Member of Sheffield’s Pride and Glory (Alex Turner Of The Arctic Monkeys) and Practiced Regularly with him Covering The Beatles Material as we were Both Crazy on them.

Alex’s Ambitions Were Incredible and those Ambitions have made him who he is today, If Only I had the same Ambition at The Time (Muttering Under My Breath)

From there on I went into different phases and different Genre’s of Music which made me Musically aware of the different styles out there….Good and Bad.

Been the Grandson of a Frank Sinatra Tribute Act who performed In The West End Regularly had its advantages too as My Grandfather would play me a lot of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Otis Redding and My Favourite Cruna Matt Munro. This Music was what Inspired me to sing more than any other type of Genre.

So I became All Round Musically Aware Ranging with Music from the 40’s up-to the present market.

I have attended Auditions for the Voice, The X Factor and attended Competitions when in Holiday Parks and have won many Competitions on Holiday Parks.

I have gained some brilliant experience through The Voice and especially The X Factor as I had progressed quite far within the Competition.

I am currently Performing at local Gigs and am Currently Wedding Singing on most Saturday Nights all over South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and The Nottinghamshire areas and I have Gigs lined up for 2014 including The 02 Academy Sheffield, Headlining for a Local Bar at Tram Lines and supporting a Sheffield Legend which is an Honour to be able to Show Case some of My Original Music.

My Biggest Role Model to date within The Music Industry has to be Adele who is quite Arguably the most Powerful Female Singer in the world, Beating Many Records and setting a New World Record by her Inspirational Album 21, And helped me to Recover from a Major Loss within My Life

There are many Artists from my Home town too that Inspire me such as Richard Hawley (Pulp), Arctic Monkeys, Jarvis Cocker, Def Leppard and who can forget Human League.

Other Artists that I find Inspiring would be Jake Bugg who is a Young and Very Talented Musician working with the best Producer out there….Rick Ruben. He (Jake Bugg) has been compared as the Male version of Adele.      I am a Huge Fan Of Etta James and Amy Winehouse also

I am now Currently Working On My first Album with Producer Alan Smythe (Creator Of The Arctic Monkeys First Ever Demo Disc Live at The BoardWalk) Which is taking a Lengthy Process and is Incredibly Hard Work.

My Aim is to Prove that I am not a One Trick Pony with My first Album and so there will be Ballads, Indie and Electro Type Music on The First Album. I hope to be able to make Sheffield Proud and go as far as I possibly can within The Music Industry.

Never Doubt Dreams

DISCOGRAPHY.

Now aged 29 and having 13 years DJ'ing experience and knowledge under his belt, Diablo started his career way back in those hot summer nights of august 1999 (when Mike Di Scala was still working as a security guard for 3beat records!). Then playing old skool/happy hardcore to capacity crowds he was still only at the tender age of 16. The future was looking bright for the young Diablo, who was starting to gain the much craved recognition he deserved, appearing at a number of top venues across the NorthWest of England and even playing alongside the likes of Galaxy FM's Adele Roberts from Big Brother and Ultrabeat's Mr Ian Redman. 
During this time a lot of things were changing on the club scene.... The large superclubs that charged a small fortune to get in were dying out and Liverpool seen a boom in new trendy bars boasting free admission. But free admission came at a cost.... the owners/managers had to rely on the bar takings to pay the DJ's wages, instead of the door takings.... This ultimately seen the end of huge line ups like the superclubs had. Amongst other things changing on the Liverpool club circut was the clubbers music tastes, the Old Skool rave culture of the 90's had now past, we were now into the new millenium and a lot of DJ's found themselves changing music styles to keep up with the new trend which was of course......... HOUSE MUSIC! 
Diablo's music tastes had also matured and he too became a house music lover, but with the rising costs of vinyl (some records costing as much as £8!) this sadly seen a lot of talented DJ's (including Diablo) hanging up their headphones and giving up on their dreams of becoming the new Eyeball Paul and following other career paths.
Nowadays the evolution of using CDJ's as opposed to the old traditional Technics 1210's has seen a big rise in the number of up and coming DJ's trying to break through onto the scene - including Diablo.
"I never lost my love for house music, I always kept a close eye (and ears...) on the club scene and have decided the time is right to re-launch my DJ'ing career."
Being a creative driving force Diablo is constantly feeding his numerous fans with high quality dancefloor material, and his DJ sets have gained him a reputation of being one of the most respected key players breaking onto the scene.
Diablo is a leading pioneer of the Nu Skool and definately one to look out for in 2011, with his unique style and energy he is destined for Superstar DJ status..... 

WATCH THIS SPACE!

I have been alive for over nineteen years now. In the eighteen years of my existence, I have seen a lot of things. Some, I want to remember forever. Some, I want to forget right now. And some that I want to erase irreversibly but I can’t.

So you might be wondering if that is how i classify things in my life. Well, no. I classify everything in my life under the following two categories:

1. Things that I can change.

2. Things that I can’t change.

Believe me, it makes life a whole lot easier. I am a mess of a dreamer. I dream about the craziest things like winning Grammys, collaborating with Adele, becoming a doctor and engineer together and what not. However, I have learnt enough lessons to understand that one might be capable of doing a million things; but in the end there’s just one thing he or she can do. If you try to do everything, you might end up with nothing. But if you sacrifice everything to do just one thing, you will definitely not return empty-handed. I think life is a series of decisions. What you decide now might affect you five years later. That is why, every decision, big or small, counts.

I’m over-enthusiastic, over-analytic, sometimes right, mostly wrong and over-emotional. Must be a Sagittarius thing.

Sagittarius… Do I believe in horoscope? Do I believe in the ‘supernatural’? Honestly, I don’t know myself. I’m like those millions of people who get drawn into all of this in weak moments.

I can play a little guitar. I love country music. Now, that doesn’t mean I don’t like the others. I have a special place in my heart for genres like soft-rock, dubstep, hip-hop, rap etc. However, I love/play/compose/write country music because I love storytelling. I love sharing my experiences. And the best way I can do that is by writing songs. Songwriting is one of those things that I can do anytime and anywhere. It’s kind of like a way to vent.

Honestly, I don’t know myself enough to write more about me. So yeah, this is it. look forward to being able to know myself more by writing about my experiences.

Thank you for reading.
