I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs. What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…

Well, I'm almost on a roll now - this little love song was written, arranged, and recorded in just a week. I've been meaning to attempt something like this for years, just never got round to it. I'd actually settled down to finally record a…

This one's a bit of a ponderous beastie. It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, it's got a lot to do with Sunday 18th June 1815. **** **Cold - A A J Russe** Your wagon-train Is out of danger And of course you never lie Not…

Collaboration with Freight Drive Reprobates (music) and Darkarma (lyrics). Don't think it's my best, but it's been hanging around for so long, I needed to get it out so I can move on to the next one :) Enjoy!

Dedicated to all musicians who get asked "what do expect to get from making music?"

With the electrorgasmic Aged Machine, written and recorded for the RPM Challenge 2012. Sabotaged by the coffin card girl Rode out of the cartomancy world I'm soaking and sick of this Of being a bee sting because he doesn't know a good…

Walking home from the pub late at night or early in the morning down the canal bank in the dark can sometimes be a little spooky......WOoooOOoooOOOoo!

This is the first time I have played in drop D this is a Springsteen song that he borrowed the title from a Pete Seeger song..and I like the way Warren Haynes plays it live...so here is my humble attempt at it...

New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol... I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

With music written and performed by Aged Machine for the RPM Challenge, 2013. Demo version.

The music you hear I created myself and played by myself, apart from the drums. I called this song "The Rain Began" it's basically about a couple where the bloke cheated, so she told him where to go, but he kept coming back ( full of regret…

This one is dedicated to my dear friend John. Thanks for changing my life for the better.... Also a big thanks to our own Greg Connor who helped me get the chords for my own uke accompaniment, and who kindly played the beautiful guitars…

I kissed an activist... now Uncle Sam is pissed! She goes around... tryin' to burn things down.

Sadly, Annie and Allan are now divorced... The games are over... Annie & Allan Annie and Allan were having a problem Made a decision to go their own ways Annie and Allan made an announcement Not even knowing how it saddened…

Dedicated to the ones that are having a hard time fitting in this society.

Peace within my mind

I was up early this morning before the children so i got me and Les to do and ad-lib song in one take....i wish i had turned the mic down a bit as you can hear me hitting the strings but hey its a kind of percussion...isn't it?

I've been messing about with the bass and came up with this bass-line and the rest just fell into place....it's a bit bumpy but hey i'm learning as i go... THE HARD RAINS GONNA FALL AND FALL Baby it’s all gone wrong once we we were good, we…

Have been busy this last few weeks with DIY children wedding photos coming out of my ears. But finally found time to pick Les up and create something and came up with this one....Hope you enjoy!!(live in the cellar) Everyone Everyone wanting…

Sometimes you need to stay up late to try to force yourself to dream. When I wrote this song (and started singing it a bit), I knew that my voice could never give it what it needed... So I turned it over to one Sister Savage... And she did…

I wrote this song earlier this week, and reached out to the wonderful Greg Connor and SL Krell here to help me with the lead, rhythm and bass guitars to give it a nice country love song feel. They killed it!!!!!! Thanks to them both for making…

A cover of a Spinal Tap song,just for a laugh!

My humble tribute to Freddie King... Without him we wouldn't have Eric & without Eric, I would probably have never picked up a guitar. This is sort of a pastiche of Hide Away & The Stumble & tracks like that :-)

First song of the New Year.

It is recommended to watch the video full screen. All audio is derived from the museum.

This was written as a result of many of the things I've seen posted on a well known social site, that would have probably been better off left un-posted.

A shorty for the C major pentatonic event.

Wrote about & for the Good Wife while she was recovering in hospital. Yes it's sloppy !!!!

Bits and Pieces

The local songwriters were in my living room earlier this week, and we had a great night. We recorded a live version of this song I posted earlier this month, and I thought you'd enjoy hearing Colin W, Greg C and Scott Z playing and singing too!

Found an old one. Wrist is almost fit for use. Just need a spark from the old grey matter.

Now, just a mad bit of fun. No offence to all the other Great versions of this song !!!!

Men were disgned for short term relations, unlike women whose ideal is the perfect family, a man gets trapped in a game called matrimony, he just wants a piece of the cake and he ends up buying the whole bakery. Gives up his freedom for a bit of sex.

It takes thousands of lives as animals before you get one human body.

Dear amigos, you have never been alone, and you never will.

Written at the top of a volcano in Mexico City, looking at the buildings and the polluted gray skies. It was a rainy afternoon and the lights went out, then I remembered childhood moments.

Women are the source of inspirantion for this song. Women of all ages, shapes and sizes. Daughters of Eve, witches and fairies.

Solo mandolin

A chord arrangement from some SRV chords and stuff.A real hand cramper.
