About Me

I'm a one man songwriting band usually armed with a guitar and a pen. I generally write acoustic indie / pop music. My main aim is to get my songs out there to publishers to be used by other artists. I record all of of my tracks at home on various home studio equipment. Here are a few reviews and comments that have been given on some of my songs. “Just had a listen to So Far Away great track mate good melody fits well into what's current on the music scene at the moment without sounding like commercial pap. your a hell of a song writer you'll go a long way ill keep looking in“. (Chris Lister) “I just had another listen to So Far Away. All I can say is WOW!!” (Rob Gough) “Wow. So Far Away. This is a really good song. You have a good voice, really clear. Solid guitar work, and I enjoyed the backing vocals as well as the lyrics. Solid stuff” (Brendan Kelly) “So Far Away. Great song. Feel like I've heard it before but I know I haven't - that's always a good sign. Catchy verse that grabs you right away and a good chorus” (Keiran Moses) “Just listened to Fade Away a few times it's very good. In my head straight away totally catchy and well structured. As I'm typing it's in my head on two listens” (Mark Ainsworth) “Again mate loved Fade Away, really related to the lyrics on this one. A lot of artist's would snap your arm of to record your tracks. I can see you making a big success with what your trying to do” (Chris Lister) “Now rick loving the choons here pal..So Far Away is class” (King Eskimo) “Sounds good mate keep rocking best of luck” (The Slick Hippies)
