"You've buggered my day's recording!! I was meant to be working on a folkie thing... now I'm gonna be putting on the strat and reaching for the pedals!"
Ha ha! Sorry about that...nothing wrong with putting on the strat tho'
Cool track by the way :)
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...

Great track! It's really hard to pull off the one man band thing convincingly, but you did a hell of a job of it here. Great vocals! Drums sound like the real thing too.

Geez, you have a great voice! I love your sense of drama in your tracks. I don't know it you used real or programmed drums, but they sound great. This is a great song, and on my fave's list now too.

What a tune...what an imagination you have! I love the tone on the guitar, not to mention the playing. Great vox and background harmonies. This is just awesome. Very impressed.

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
Pop-rock song. Recorded 2009.
I wrote this several years earlier and rehearsed it with the last band I was in.
The recording was my first "serious" project on my Boss MBR, I was stunned that you could do something like this on a little silver…

Another wonderful track , I still think I can Here shades of Roy Harper in your music , and in my book that is a good thing , that isn't taking anything away from your songwriting , you are still very original

A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...
@ facemask - there's time yet! I hope... lol
There's a LOT of competition though... and to be honest, I only really started saying what I wanted when I gave up the idea of becoming famous!!

I read the blurb first, and then I was worried that might prove a mistake... but no, the song is a STUNNER. I couldn't imagine how you'd work the subject... and it's just fabulous - you tackled it head on and there's no sentimentality... you captured the anger, the confusion, wow... SO powerful.
I remembered an incredible night at the seaside some years ago. The moon over the water and the waves, the stars in the sky and the wind with a natural sense of movement. I hope I was able to transfer those sensations into the song.
This work…
Oh yeah. Like this. And what you say in your blurb "Making Music is what it should be: a pleasure, again." - yep, same here... and I can hear it in this. I shall check out more of your stuff.
As a teen Ringo had wanted to emigrate to Texas to meet Lightnin' Hopkins.. what if?
Liverpool to Houston
Liverpool is far from Houston
1960 to present day too

Started out by recording a single tone on the guitar and sampled other recordings on the loop. If you listen carefully you can hear the tone repeat itself for 420 times
I'm tempted (to try) to count them... I'm half imagining you KNOW it's 419 or 421 and you're waiting to see if someone does count them!! (And now you're wishing that is what you did!! LOL)

Somewhat inspired by king gizzard and the lizard wizard. I may have taken it too far experimenting with the vocal effects, but still had fun recording this
Not bad, 10 to 15 years to to get this one done Ha Ha. This was wrote tongue in

Short violin phrases played then manipulated in process in conjunction with a filtered noise floor, variable oscillator and a voice sample, all mixed live in my Pure Data patch, this one inspired by tape looping. Created for Phase 2 of Sound…
I never know what to say on these... except "interesting listen"... And this one was... I've also discovered they make a good soundtrack to working at home... not what I was expecting at all!
We got motivated to write something a bit light hearted about our Covid-19 Times.... I hope you'll laugh and sing along with Roger , Colleen, Greg and Steve on this one... any maybe raise a glass of your personal moonshine!!!

Simply stunning........
Great voice and playing. I'd offer to swap some of my guitar expression for some of your vocal expression, but your guitaring is cool as well :)

This has a hell of a swagger to it! Fine sounding guitar tones!
Great track! It's really hard to pull off the one man band thing convincingly, but you did a hell of a job of it here. Great vocals! Drums sound like the real thing too.

Great song and acoustic gtr sound! Your voice is so expressive too.

Wow... missed this, I kinda disappeared musically... but I'm back ... and loving the sound of your stuff as much as I used too.
Cool video too
And Greg's right... Art's guitar playing on this is incredible ;)

Awww love this. A brilliant idea. Brilliantly executed. "John and Paul did their best" heheh... And it's even got one of RIngo's "backwards" fills
I'm tempted (to try) to count them... I'm half imagining you KNOW it's 419 or 421 and you're waiting to see if someone does count them!! (And now you're wishing that is what you did!! LOL)
Wow. Cool sounds.
Oh yeah. Dig this one. I have been drinking, though!
I find your stuff strangely compelling.
Love the feel of this one. Kinda trippy. It's got a Mamas and Papas vibe to it.
Oh yeah! That makes it mighty. Shame I can't fave it again!!
This jumps along nicely. Digging that slide.
Sounds like you have got the blues back :)
Hey! I missed this! Cool track.

Nice one. Loved the tinkly climax.
Awwww...yes... This put a great big smile on my face.
WOWWWW.... this is a fabulous song. "Shivers down the neck" fabulous. What a set of lyrics... did I say wow? Yep, WOW.
