Grass
It is seven years ago to this day that I posted my first song on You Tube. To mark that anniversary I am releasing this modern folk song. A group of young people mock an old man who is tending his lawn (again) but he has a story to tell…..about the grass.
Circle of Hands
An older song reworked. It’s about reaching out when in need. I performed this at the Smile Bar Live Lounge in February 2026 with Peter O’Hare on guitar.
Before The Event
No words for the start of 2026. I was reading about the destruction of Pompeii, because I am off to see Marillion there in the summer (yippee!). It struck me that one day life is normal but then it can change in an instant. It somehow feels that is where we are all sitting at…
The first songs I clearly recall are Telstar by the Tornados in 1962 and my introduction to The Beatles ‘She Loves You’ in 1963. Since then I have been in love with music, especially on the spectrum between pop-rock and progressive music. My head has been full of songs and lyrics for a whole lifetime but being unable to play an instrument there was no way for these to get out. Then in my early sixties I started to learn keyboard with the help of my tutor Peter O’Hare. With the aid of my home studio and recording tech, the songs are now finding a way out (along with accompanying videos). I write in the space between rock, pop, alternative and folk genres.
This site is a record of that learning journey, starting in 2018. It’s a diary of the things I see, read and feel, captured in words and music.
Listen
You can listen to my music on streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and Audiomack (amongst others). In late 2024 I consolidated the best of my pop-rock songs on an album called ‘Retropop’ and my darker material onto ‘The Dark Side of the Earth’. Two more albums of original songs followed: Future Trends, Past Tense (2025) and An Absence of Hope (2026) You can purchase these on iTunes.
