Having just seen the Average White Band on their 5oth year farewell tour, just had to re-create one of my favourite Tunes of theirs, albeit a cover of a soul classic!! With thanks to AWB's own vocals....!!
The love affair with the Average White Band continues...! This very soulful track has aways been a favourite of mine, and so have produced my own instrumental track with superb session singers doing the vocals.....having seen a gig recently on…
This iconic rock track from Heart has always been a favourite of mine, and I have given it the full orchestral treatment, with a brilliant vocal added by Naomi….this is an absolute beast to sing and keeping the song in the original key is a real…

Latest in a run of covering some my all-time musical heroes...the inimitable Kate Bush, and one of her most evocative and emotional tracks....didn't mess around with the arrangement this time...kept pretty faithful to the wonderful, and at times…
Pleased with this orchestration and the Tina Arena arrangement of this iconic Kate Bush classic...have always loved it! Produced and performed by myself, except for the stunning vocal performance by Tina of course .....

I've been a Kate fan for a long time and this is a fantastic cover. Enough faithfulness to the original, but the arrangement breathes some new life into it. Well done!
Lovely to work with the talented Ms Daulby again...she had asked for a version of this super Beverly Craven classic and I was happy to oblige! Thanks to 13111y for his usual excellent tweaking and mastering......

**Song-writing Demo for FAWM 2022**
Song number 1
Written Sunday 6th February 2022
****
OK, this is a bit of a departure for me - posting songwriting demos.
This is a one mic recording made this morning in the living room, touch of reverbs…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…
Thanks for your kind comment about the Concerto - not a synth library as such, but the BBC Symphony Orchestra Core library from Spitfire Audio.
Love the ethereal feel of this track of yours, by the way....👍
As a change, as part of the learning process I have been working on some cover songs, I love the Doors so here is my version of Love her Madly. Hope I do it justice.
This was written as a challenge in 2016 for a joint birthday party with a 30, 40, 60 and 80 year old birthday celebration all linked into one big bash.
First real go at using a DAW.
This was written with two acoustic guitars and a live vocal for my wife, as a surprise and a thank you for going to so many gigs with me and being so understanding about the time music takes up in my life.

And this is the last of the little threesome of In Your Hands, Little Thing, and this one, When I Try To Be Me.
It's in the key of 4th fret and was written just over a month later than the other two, on 19th March…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
Thanks for your latest round of positive comments, Andrew. Really most appreciated. Have access to unbelievable range of sound libraries etc and looking to try them all at the moment!!!

Steve developed this beautiful track with his ukulele and I added some lyrics to make a "positive message" song for the times we are in.... Hope it makes you smile too...
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Sitting here on my front steps
Listening…
Lovely melody, uplifting words....super. 👍👍
By the way, I noticed that only one of my playlists had been made ‘visible’ so now sorted that jn case you wanted a deeper delve!!
I wrote this one in response to a song writing challenge from the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The title had to be Mississippi Moon and it had to have a I V VI I II chord progression somewhere in the song. Over 20 writers have signed…
Hi there from across the pond! Thank you so much for your kind words about a couple of my tracks....really appreciated. Been listening to few of your recent compositions....love the voice and sentiments - are you influenced by artistes such as Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell etc?
Well Reg is struggling can he find that belief in himself or not…….
Belief
Sat at the bar wishing again on a dream
Head floating into space
I got my eyes closed to the scene
Cause I know I sit here in disgrace
Another drink another whiskey…
Another collab with Paul Chapman (Chaperzee) from the other side .....
Nothing here
Is this all you had to say
When you talked to me today
I can’t see the games you play
Is it that you with your minds astray
I stand here in dismay…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995.
Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
