Terry McCann

About Me

Hello.
How are you? I’m Terry McCann. Nice to meet you.
Amongst plenty of other things new to the world in 1964 were Needles and Pins, You Really Got Me, A Hard Days Night, Beatles for Sale, Roy Orbison’s Oh Pretty Woman, The Jet Set, and, in October of that year, me. Yes, I really am that old.
Born and raised in Welwyn Garden City, Herts, one way or another I’ve been in and around music in the area since 1988. I’ve played in bands and all that stuff having some great experiences that you just wouldn't swap for anything. After a break of several years I came to realise that I missed performing my music and, with my brother Gavin backing me up on guitar, started gigging again in 2002 playing acoustic versions of my own songs. Gavin has since gone to live in Brighton and so, as opportunities for us to perform together are very limited these days, I now mostly play solo gigs. To stop myself and, hopefully, anyone listening from getting bored I try hard not to write the same song twice. The demos on this site get closer to the sounds (no, not voices) in my head and perhaps the variety I like in my music is more obvious in these demos than I can achieve in a live acoustic setting but I do my very best to kick up a din when I'm out and about even so.
That’s me then.
