About Me

Welcome and thanks for dropping by. I'm here for the sheer enjoyment of sharing my songs with you. These are splendid times allowing songwriters to conceive their ideas, record them and give them to the world. We can do this within hours, even minutes. Some tracks here are from my first album, feel free to visit the links and you'll find other tracks from the album "Celebrate" and some of my earlier home recordings. Plenty of places to buy the tracks as downloads (some are free) or a good old fashioned CD. I've just posted two new demo tracks "The Stone That Brought The Girl" and "It's Hard To Believe" these two tracks are now being produced for my forthcoming 5 song e.p. Comments are really appreciated and feedback on the songs, production anything you damm well like. If you don't have a MySpace message me at www.algoodwin.co.uk I'll put the new e.p up on my player as soon as it is finished, this is a release I don't want to rush, I have some great people helping me out in the studio and their patience and belief is so appreciated. Enjoy Al.
