My Story Chapter 14 – My Guardian Angel
When I decided to embark on telling my musical story I knew that eventually I would have to write this section. I knew what it would cost me to do that, how I would feel and I’ve dreaded getting to this chapter. But it’s crucial because without it I wouldn’t be at this point with […]
My Story Chapter 13 – All In My Mind
As 2003 wound on I made up my mind to commit my songs to CD. I was very aware of my limitations as a music producer and as aware that I wasn’t getting the best possible results from Cubase because of my lack of knowledge of the program. But even so I had come up […]
Invisible Tom
Welcome to the wonderful world of Tom Stanley, better known by his stage name of Invisible Tom. His music is quite unlike any other I featured so far – in a good way.

Brittany Shane
If there was any justice in the world then Brittany Shane’s song Only Sunday would be on everybody’s playlist. On repeat. It’s a great, great song that I wish I’d written. Only Sunday was released some time ago, since then Brittany has continued to write and perform excellent music. I strongly recommend that you take […]

Gemma describes herself as a songwriter and top-liner, who obtained a First Class BA Hons Songwriting graduate of Leeds Conservatoire (formally Leeds College of Music). Given that Leeds is […]

No more outtakes?
Have you ever bought a deluxe version of a classic album? Maybe it was called the collectors edition or the 50th anniversary edition or some such title? I’ve bought The Beatles 50th anniversary releases of Sgt Pepper, the White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be and there’s one thing that all of them contain […]
