Band Members: Just me, and occasionally the wonderful Colin Barley (Please find him on my page). I write music purely to retain the last bit of sanity life left me with and play in Newcastle when the opportunities arise. I am discovering the joys of a Zoom multitrack, as are my neighbours:) Yes, I would love to record something properly and yes, you might find that a relief too:)
Influences: Kate Bush has been the biggest and happiest influence on my life and her music and has lead me to many wonderful friends, as well as being the soundtrack to most of my life. Lyrically and musically, she is untouchable, a true benchmark in world music which is a wonderful, if unachievable standard.
Listening to Kate has made me try to be brave with subjects and to try and be courageous vocally. I have written songs about Albert Pierrepoint, The 'Child killer' Mary Bell and children with weapons. I like to try and step into someone elses shoes for five minutes. Often I am sure I fail, but the challenge is one we face everyday and one which can help make things better. Sometimes the songs are more personal, like 'Cockerels' which is for my late Grandmother, Jennie and 'Ripples' which is for the father I haven't seen for nearly fifteen years. I know they won't hear them, but it's a strange comfort to know that other people are unwittingly listening on their behalf and I think that's often what music is all about.^Im not really that wide!!
