Electric blues. Recorded 2007. I was learning how to use my DAW and trying to figure out how a one-man-band could get to sound like a bunch of old bluesers in a sweaty bar...

Well she don't mind crying…
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…

A song about my wife. Recorded 2005.
I'd just taught myself how to play piano (badly).
I'd always wanted to be Freddie Mercury when I was younger... still got a bit of a ways to go.

Andrew , Great quality to this higher register,Heart felt and not Whiney. I love this. I could no more sing like this than
Wiggle my arms and fly. Great voice
A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…

"I like that notion of optimism right around the corner . . . but not quite here yet."
Yep, I like that as well now, VERY much... but I didn't really believe it when I wrote it! lol - it was more of a yearning for it to be true.

First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

I can't quite believe that I'm posting this, or that I've even recorded it. But I've played it like this sat on the sofa in the living room for many years, and I needed something to check out how to record a live "one vocal and one guitar" song…
The Glory of Love – Tiggy Acworth 121003
Let’s sing this song together, for the glory of love
Let’s get along together, as if forever is long enough
As if forever is long enough…
You always make me happy, you always make me smile…
Always love listening to your stuff :-)
(The missus popped in and made appreciative noises as well)
Off to Test Match Special now - come on England! lol

Remake of a track I wrote and recorded in Surrey in 1996, and then it was arranged and produced by Ken Burns in Bath. A popular track at the time among fans, this is my take on it now, in 2013!;-)
Ooo! (I'm listening to your stuff while typing emails in another window), suddenly this jumps out at me.
One of my favourite songs EVER. Mainly for the verses - I always find the chorus really difficult to do effectively, and I sometimes wonder if it lets the thing down a bit.
But I reckon you've managed to pull it off and make it work :-)

This is one of three songs inspired by the book THE HEALING OF FAMILIES by Fr. Yosefu - B. Ssemakula.
Only One
The Lord gives, the devil takes
One is love, the other, hate
One will bless, the other, curse
One reigns in…
Many years ago I read the Herman Hesse book Siddhartha. It tells the story of a family man who meets his dream girl and he leaves it all to be with her. She is what he lives for. Then she leaves him and he finishes his life sitting beside the…
Is this a new version? I'm sure I've already commented on this before.
Sounds like it could be a new version. But, what ever, I love it even more than last time. This is SUPERB.
Love the "odd" bass note at the end.
Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!
"Tether"
Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
To spill the blood, to pull the weed
You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be
Can we bring it together,
Can we call from the mountain to the valley…
Recorded Live in the cellar with a guitar track added after the initial recording....this is another song i wrote while in Germany ... hope you enjoy..

Rockin stuff. I'm with James, it's got that fantastic vibe that The Who used to create. Loving the bass playing, and the guitar sounds are just "IT".
Like it. Don't know the original, but I like this.
Nice backer... nice waffle... = Nice one :)
Nice one. Love the live feel. It's got something of a "Led Zeppelin's acoustic set at Earls Court" vibe.
