The tracks uploaded onto this account are miscellaneous recordings made either at the studio or live, and I believe are worth listening to.

I started my recording studio about 10 years ago, progressing from the dining room, via the conservatory, to a purpose built outbuilding which has a sound room, control room and workshop where I build guitars. I tend to work with the older mature musician/singer/songwriters, but have also worked with younger musicians. People tend to write off the older generation as not being fashionable or of the moment, but I believe we still have a lot to offer to music lovers (i'm 56).
 I'm very fortunate in having a select group of friends who are very talented musicians, singers & songwriters, and we get together every week to work on original or cover songs. One in particular, Joe Thorne, a 63 year old farmer, produces very high quality backing tracks in his dusty garage with cobwebs everywhere. He finishes one roughly every two weeks, brings it over to me where vocals and additional instrumentation are added. Joe plays drums, keyboards, guitar, bass and sings. As I said, very talented. The other guys are Tim Gulliver, Chris Theobald, Geoff Sims, Ted Draper and Jimmy Trigwell (also known as Jimmy Martin), and we have all played in various bands throughout our lives, so we have a vast amount of experience.
 We have a number of original songs which I will upload soon. Some have been sent to famous singers such as Celine Dion, Jane McDonald, but have heard nothing in reply.
 My studio is set in the rolling hills of a small village on the edge of the New Forest, with fields behind and across the valley. An idillic setting. The music I produce through the studio and released on my label Buzzard Records UK will hopefully be my legacy for my children & grand children and music lovers worldwide.
 It's a hobby, albeit a serious hobby, which I enjoy and live in hope that one song may become famous one day.

I now have a new Soundcloud account under the username 'Free Music For Film & TV' which is purely for music created at Sound Investment and suitable for Film, TV and Commercial use, although anyone can download and use them. Please have a look and follow.

Please have a listen with an open mind, feel free to comment, but above all, enjoy.
