About Me

I've been a songwriter ever since i got my first guitar at 13 by pestering my mum and dad by shoving the littlewoods catalogue into thier faces every oportunity i could get!, and over the years since then i have recorded on everything from little tape decks to nowadays my yammy n12.

After a very difficult 2006, I decided in 2007 to finally unleash some of my music on to more than just close family and friends and this has lead to the release of my cd's "Nomany" (2007) and "touch the sky" (2008) which are on sale now at cdbaby and for download at various sites including iTunes, napster,amazon (links below)
Both albums reflect my lifelong love of music and eclectic influences with songs ranging from gentle ballads "Lately" and "hey darlin'" to the punkish "Alright" and the almost hymn like "The e minor with no name" and at the moment to promote them I get out and about playing some open mics which are proving great ( if nervous) fun to do!, but I hope to expand that one day to gigs on my own.
Any comments, feedback (good or bad i can take it!) on my music is always most gratefully received.
Regards Warren Jenks
