The Camden Artist/Sober In The Morning

About Me

Sober In The Morning is a perennially drunk solo singer-songwriter who warbles when inebriated and plays the guitar with all the aptitude of a fingerless leper. He is hoping that one day he will write a song worth listening to. After that he might record something properly. Until then you're going to have to put up with the these poorly recorded nuggets.---------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------------------------------When not singing on his return from the pub, Sober In The Morning becomes The Camden Artist. Partly because the neighbours complain about the noise when he sings but mostly to make money to subsidise the spiralling alcohol problem. If anyone wants an oil painting of their favourite icon, get in contact and he will work through the nights to do it for you.

Two black eyes, one broken nose and a silverback gorilla

I'm at home today drifting between constant pain and pain-killed stupor. I'm elevating my head and icing my nose whilst sitting here in a dream world. Late last night I got back from my most rec...
