Demo Doctor Graphic Have Your Say Every now and again, I’ll write a song that I’m not entirely convinced about. If you write songs, you’ll know what I mean. I’ll ping-pong between liking it and thinking it’s not really happening. So, rather than try and make my own mind up, I figured I’d ask you. Every now and then, I’ll post a song up in the demo diary for you to listen to in the hope that you will contribute to the comments box. These songs aren’t recorded ‘professionally’ because that would require a budget, and I can’t afford one of those. Hopefully, your insight and profound wisdom will give me some idea which songs are going to be worth investing more time in. Please click on the cassette above to have a listen and make a comment. If you like, please follow me on twitter (link = top right) if you want to keep informed as to when new songs are let loose……

Gig at COSTA Coffee in Wakefield, 2nd Jan

I’ll be playing 2 half-hour long sets at COSTA coffee in The middle of Wakefield on 2nd Jan 2011 at a Sunday Night Live event. The 1st 50 drinks come with a free cake apparently. Nice. The doors open at 7pm, and the evening kicks off proper at 7.30pm.

See you there perhaps?

I’ve now got some mixes back from Charlie Russell (Jamiroquai etc) too. Along with 1 mix that I’ve done, that completes the set. So, just a case of getting the little beauties mastered, and then they’re off to the CD printing house. Good times!

Righting Wrongs in Writing Songs

Hi. I’ve got a book out! It’s the product of the lecturing in Songwriting that I’ve been doing recently combined with fruitful conversations with a publisher. They decided that they liked me and went on to decide that they would print my thoughts on several sheets of paper. It’s called ‘Righting Wrongs in Writing Songs’ [...]
