These days it’s not enough to have a website, as a creator you have to have a plethora of social media channels and streaming services. If you’re not on the one site your listener uses you’ll never get heard, which leads to a certain amount of paranoia. The other problem is how do you let […]

Loving You Is So Good gets over 2,000 streams
My song Loving You Is So Good is the 8th song of mine to reach 2,000 streams on Spotify. I feel so grateful to have another song of mine reach this incredible milestone. Thank you to everyone who has given up their time to listen to Loving You Is So Good, I am really, really […]
Stewart McKie
Another splendid artist from Canada, say hello to Stewart McKie. On his Bio Stewart points out that he’s no spring chicken, but speaking as someone well smitten with years I reckon Stewart’s music benefits from the experience age brings. There’s a great ‘worn’ feeling to his songs which give them real character and authenticity and […]
Only For You reaches 2,000 Spotify streams
I released Only For You as both a single and a track on my album Present Tense and it’s now reached 2,000+ streams on Spotify alone. Many, many, many thanks to everyone who has taken the time to listen to the song. It means that all the songs I have released as singles have reached […]
Twitter, Musk and Trump
This website is not about politics and nor are my social media channels but there comes a time when decisions have to made and we’re approaching one of those right now. The new boss of Twitter, Elon Musk, has decided to allow ex-President Donald Trump back onto Twitter. Trump was kicked off Twitter not just […]
3,000+ Spotify Streams – Why this matters so much
I’m really pleased, and proud, that my song My Guardian Angel has reached the milestone of 3,000 Spotify streams but this matters so much more than just a figure or a milestone. I wrote this song in memory of my partner Christine who died nearly five years ago from a savage form of blood cancer. […]
The attention span of a goldfish
“Goldfish are said to have an attention span of five seconds, which is approximately two seconds longer than a visitor to your website.” I don’t who worked it out but it seems about right for life in 2022. Or as Nirvana put it “Here we are now, entertain us”. In other words we now think […]
Gravity Wins passes 2,000 Spotify streams
Gravity Wins, which was the fourth single released from last year’s album Present Tense, has now passed an incredible 2,000 streams on Spotify alone. It’s another great milestone for my music and I remain eternally grateful to everyone who has taken the time to stream my song. Thank you all very much !!!
Getting ready for a new single
I’ve written a new song. Well, to be accurate I wrote a new song several months ago and started to record it. Leaving aside the health issues that prevented me from actually singing at the time and still leave me sounding like a frog in a bottle, I started to put the song together. My […]
Julie Hicklin
Welcome to the very talented Julie Hicklin from London. Her website describes her songs as, amongst other things, slow burning and I’d agree with that assessment, especially with songs like Love Suicide and Dog Solitude. Take a listen to her music and you’ll discover that’s not her only attribute, there’s quite a diversity of styles […]
