A demo of a new song. Moving towards a more positive phase of writing I think. Playing the wonderful and beautiful Hofnew Senator rebuilt, repaired and customised by David Bourne after it was found in a skip!

Sound Lounge Accoustic Sessions for the diary !
My sessions night @ the Sound Lounge was mentioned this month in Country Music People magazine, thank you Michael Hingston, and to say I’m made up is an understatement. So take a look at whats in the diary for November and December.
Live session this Wednesday evening with Nick T form the wonderful Nick T Band. Nick and I will be singing songs and excahanging stories in the round on Wednesday 8th November at The Sound Lounge in Sutton. Its a free admission night and will be pretty damn cool. Nick is a great singer, performenr and raconteur! I’ve a few cover lined up and tehse will be interspersed with songs from my new collection ‘WEhat happened to Freedom’ which is available all over the place digitally and hard copy from me.
The Decemeber session is also in planning and will take place on 13th December. In line with previous years I’m inviting back guests from my nights this year! Lots are saying yes so it will be a night of quick fire sets and Xmas fun.

New songs this month!
I have a new collection of 8 songs about to be released to the world via CDBaby. I’d been out walking with camera in hand and my plan was to try and take one photo for each of the new songs. It shouldn’t have been difficuly but it was. But this pic seems to say so much about the collection but in particulary the song ‘What happened to freedom’ that it has become the CD cover photo and the photo for the online songs. I’ll be posting links to the songs very shortly in the meantime this is me singing an early version of the title track during and internet live stream last year. At that time lyrics were still developing, the last verse hadnt been written and the song even had a different name! LOL The collection even includes one or two happy songs. The track listing is as follow:
What happened to freedom, The Strength of a Woman, Set the children free, The Rooks and the Ravens, The Robin, Look upon my life, Highways Cities and Motorway Towns and He sees me.

In The Round with Andrew Green
Tremendous midweek gig @The Sound Lounge in the round with Andrew Green the front man of the band Strawberry Fires. A couple of hours of originals and covers, some tremendous harmonies and magic moments. This little snippet even features my seldom played mandolin. Great night hopefully more to come.

Great day in the Studio
Earlier in the week I spent the day with long time collaborator Justine who has got herself a studio! Monty fell asleep and Sam called in to say hello play guitar and chill. So cool. With the help of Simon we tested setup, cables and played with stuff then we recorded a new song. I’m just hoping Jus doesn’t get fed up with me. Wink, Lol, Cheeky Face.

Living out on the streets.
This is a cut – live in my studio – a bit reverb mad but you know I love a bit of reverb. Joking aside – this song tries to put thoughts together about where we are in the Uk at the present. Sad times indeed.
