One for the romantics...and 'wierdos'!

Happy Valentines day!

A little gift from me to you - for all the romantics, the dreamers, the secret admirers...and for those who might relate to the turmoil of unrequited love.

A free download for you - "They Don't, So I Won't" - a song which is kind of about stalking the one you love...yes a bit wierd I know!

Enjoy ;)

Brief reminder, and I suppose you might say... a shameless plug!

Still have the following CD’s for sale at the new bargain price of £1.99 each. Even better, get two CD's for £2.98 - a good deal if you’d like both albums or wanted an extra copy for a friend or something. This includes P&P (within UK) and each one will be lovingly packaged and chauffeured to the postbox by yours truly! Every single CD sold genuinely means the World to me - sometimes I even do a little dance - so thanks!

Ready To Talk Now is perhaps the darker of the two albums - I was listening to some pretty tenebrous stuff at the time - Ed Harcourt, Rufus Wainwright, that kind of thing. Much of it was written and recorded in the small hours, fueled by broken sleep, a curious hankering to ‘create’ and a suspiciously affordable supply of Merlot from the local off license.

One More Chance, the follow up, was a more considered and collaborative process, with far more input from the band during production. Influences were more varied - you could say it’s a pretty eclectic album. Seem to remember I was listening to a lot of Tom Waits and Nick Cave at the time and also a fair bit of 70‘s folk - think this came out in some of the songs.

Album No.3 Begins...

Well it's been a somewhat solitary few months writing new material and making demos at my home here in Buckinghamshire. I've been trying out lots of new songs and ideas, performing finished songs on the most part to Henry (feline companion & co-writer) who thus far seems indifferent to say the least!

It all seems to be sliding into a slightly more urbane vibe this time around with real attention to detail and I've had a rather intensive few weeks of editing / pre-production trying to get everything to sit just right. Unfortunately all band members currently involved seem to live in lands far away and as a result there have been numerous lengthy telephone conversions and revelatory text messages at some fairly unsociable hours, all with attempts to try and cement ideas together and discuss the variety of possible arrangements on offer at each stage. We'll be starting work in the studio this week with Wakefield based producer Will Frost who will undoubtedly bring yet another perspective to the table so it will be very exciting to see what we can come up with. Will try to get some pics and video snippets as events unfold...exciting times! :)

'I Do Photography' New Demo

Been messing around with a new song today and decided to throw a demo down. Pretty simple arrangement guitar...piano...bass....cardboard box!

Will put it on the back burner until I can the band together but here's a little taster for now. Enjoy!
