Here’s my take of the Buffalo Springfield song originally written by Neil Young and later covered by David Roback on the rare ‘Rainy Day’ album.

Two guitar tracks, Rickenbacker 330. Two vocal tracks from me throat. Thanks for listening!

First mix I made for the Beatles “Black Album” Fest on Songcrafters. It’s got slide guitar, lap steel, mellotrons and features my lovely croak. Thanks for listening!

Just a quick one-off cover of the Big Star song that I made last night (Christmas night). Perhaps the Christmas spirit (or just spirits) were in me. Voice & ukulele recorded live to a single track, and then I overdubbed backing vocals, strumstick (tuned high CGG), melodica, and toy piano each…read more

Well, well…another Beatles fest and here is what came out. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for listening.

Recorded live on Br80 stereo mic for the protestfest.

Our henwrench then added some harmonies later.

A man is as good as his word.
Never a truer word told.

This is a song about meeting a new love & soul mate , written just hours after a first date in the new forest

This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.

(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West’s version I knew. And, while searching, I discovered…read more

Taking a few liberties with copywrite laws here, includes riff from Shakin all over, and the middle eight is house of the rising sun.I hope someone has a sense of humour

A sound outside at night. Scary at first, but it’s a friend who wants to party. We play music and drink and dance and sing.

Impossibly simple tune comprising only two-fingered chords, aka the McCartney challenge. Conceived and recorded in an hour between two grueling sessions of hedge-clipping the massive (16ft tall, 35ft long) privet hedge in my backyard. I think there may be psychoactive substances in those green…read more
