There are some moments in music that feel bigger than others. Releasing songs. Finishing albums. Holding a CD of your own work for the first time. All of those have meant a lot to me over the years. But this one feels different. I’m incredibly proud to say that my album Present Tense is now […]

So what do they have in common? These people are all songwriters. They all performed at Songwriter Evening last Saturday. The audience had come to actually listen to their songs. Imagine writing a song and then performing that song to people who actually listened to you and appreciated the time, effort, skill and nerves it […]

I have to confess that I don’t know a great deal about Maggie Rogers, other than this album and a few bits and bobs on TV and YouTube, and that’s a mistake because based on this album alone Maggie is a musical force. This isn’t the easiest album to listen to, don’t get me wrong […]

The title pretty much says it all, but the reason I’ve done is to help anyone who might be interested in my songs by making it easy to listen to them all. Simple as that. Here’s all my songs and I hope you enjoy listening to one, two or all twenty seven….

It’s a question I’ve found myself coming back to more than once. You write multiple songs. You put the same level of care into them. You release them in the same way. And yet, one of them quietly pulls ahead. For me, that song is Draw The Line. It’s had noticeably more streams on Spotify […]

Just five of my song, chosen randomly, changed frequently, on one Spotify playlist. That’s it. Nothing more to say really.

This stunning album was actually released in 1988, which is a very long time ago. It was actually the band’s debut album and I’d argue it is the best debut album ever. The Hothouse Flowers are still gigging and are touring the UK later this year. People is a stunningly good album. Every track is […]

Finishing a song feels like an achievement. Finishing an album feels like something bigger — something that took time, focus, and persistence to bring into the world. But releasing that music?  That’s a completely different experience. It’s something I don’t think I fully understood until I started doing it myself. Because while there’s a lot […]
