MUSIC CD'S
I am constantly scribbling notes whenever I get inspired by something. It may be something I see or read, but quite often it's a piece of music or a song. Music and painting go hand in hand for me as forms of expression, and often my scribbles will turn into poems or song lyrics. Over recent years I have written many such songs about numerous subjects. Here's some information about the cd's: The first, released in 2000 and called "Simple Truth", was a collection of covers of some of my favourite songs. Unfortunately this CD is now out of stock. I released "In the blink of an eye" containing nine original songs in 2001 To coincide with my 50th birthday, although some of the songs were already a couple of years old by then. It got some air play on BBC Radio Lincolnshire, and has sold well from the web site and at the gigs we do locally where many seem to know the songs.

I play guitar and keyboard and provide the vocals. "In the blink of an eye" is a collection of songs are all about life and life experiences It's available for the ridiculously low price of just £7 (inc. p&p). You can order a copy simply by going to the shop page and following the instructions. (You can click on the CD image and go straight to the order form). I sing and play acoustic guitar and have teamed up with violinist / vocalist Kathryn O'Connor. We can be seen at local venues and perform original songs and covers, mostly folk / easy listening material. Why not check us out when you're next in the area? see the gig list for details.

I still write songs whenever I get the time and the inspiration. I'd written some new songs in 2002 and decided the next CD should be more professionally produced, so I approached John and Lizzie at Funky Studios and we started work on it. The end result is far better than I'd hoped for, John and Lizzie put a lot of time and effort into it, as did the musicians that appear on it.You can order a copy simply by going to the shop page and following the instructions.
