I'm a singer and a guitarist .. and probably the least prolific long standing contributor to icomps (I've been here over 4 years now !)
I'm a vocal chameleon (or a musical tart), I sing / write songs in a variety of styles... from country ballads to rock.
My listening tastes cross all genres, from Metal, Rock and Blues to Funk, Jazz, a bit of Blue Grass, Country, Pop and even a bit of Dance.
I love Garageband, Logic and iCompositions. I now have the opportunity to collaborate with some really cool musicians from all over the world .. including a couple from Brizzel and Brum !
Come of my latest songs ..
WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
A song written a long time ago, and rescued from a dusty part of my hard drive. This demo is over a year old in its current form. It was a song I meant to return to, but never did, the file being corrupted now so I cant open it anyway. Jay and John of Fractal Garden contributed additional instrumentmentation to the song. So I present to icomps an oldie, and as Jay would say "a sappy love song!"
GREED
The tale of our times .. the Bankers and Politicians lost site of what's morally right in the persuit of more ... when is enough, enough ? You have to wonder what the hell is going on !
STAND FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE
Iguess this is a political song, without leaning left or right.. it's about standing up for your beliefs whether political, religious or moral.
DREAMS Did you ever have a dream (s) did they come true for you, or are you still chasing them ? This is my first song done in Logic.. Hope you enjoy it.
LULABYE Another song with James Moore (Drums) and Brett Field (Bass). It's an up tempo song originally written as an acoustic lulabye for my 2 yr old son. It's changed a little, but the sentiment remains the same.
WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL Another 6/8 time sig rock song, kinda John Mellencamp style with a hint of Folk.
TRAVELLING MAN A blues / rock song in the same vein as Cry of Freedom / Bad Company / Free.
Winner of the iComps Summer Song Contest 2007.....
THE SOUND OF OUR SUMMER It's a mix of reggae/blues and rock, and features my old band mates James Moore on drums and Brett Field on bass, the perfect rhythm section.
Thanks for taking time to read my ramblings, have a listen to my tunes and PLEASE leave some feedback .. GOOD, BAD OR UGLY... I will not mind as long as you're being honest, ...you couldn't be more honest than my wife is about my music !!

| Being 40 and meeting my maker | February 6, 2008 |
Yesterday I turned 40 … oh well, it seems it’s all downhill from here on in. I’ve been thinking hard the last few months of how to mark my 40th year.
