I really enjoy finding great new music. Well, new music to me. The rest of the world may have been listening to it for months or years for all I know. This is Ellur. A reel she had posted on Instagram popped up on my feed and 30 seconds later I was clicking on her […]

I record all my music at home. Just typing that still feels slightly fraudulent. I don’t book studio time to write. I don’t track drums in a purpose-built live room. I don’t have racks of outboard gear glowing in the corner. I write the songs myself, sit down at my computer, open Cubase, load up […]

My first new song in a long time has finally been released. Listen to The Last Flare From The Shipwreck on this website and on streaming services throughout the world. Click here for more information I nicked the song title from something Keith Richards said about Brian Jones’ contribution to the Stones album Let It […]

Just released – a protest song from Bruce Springsteen called the Streets Of Minneapolis. This isn’t the greatest song Springsteen will ever write but it might just turn out to be his most important.

In these days of steaming and AI can a musician actually earn a decent living wage from their own music? It’s a question that has become increasingly important as musicians see their incomes squeezed and in many cases, such as with AI, actually stolen from them. Many of you will know of Mary Spender, a […]

With the reposting of my song The Time Of Your Life all the songs I have released so far are back on Spotify, all 26 of them. The silliness is over and the Spotify monolith has relented. It’s taken over 6 months to get them all back up and available, hopefully we’ll have no repetition […]

Continuing my rehabilitation on Spotify the latest song to be back on their site is Just To Be With You, which is a welcome return to sanity for all concerned. I hope you enjoy it…..
