About Me

Yes, I've finally decided to back up my hollow threats and do something about my music. After years of messing about with tunes and appearing as an occasional guest hindrance with the Abodes, it's high time I did some solo stuff.As far as live stuff goes, a couple of slots at Uluru bar in Chorlton, Manchester (most recently supporting/interrupting the marvellous Crook) have been the extent of things so far.And so to the tunes you hear: The first two, Break Cover and The River, Not Speaking, are songs of mine that I recorded recently. Both were recorded with the help, and turd-polishing skills - of Jon Roberts of the Abodes, who also lends additional guitar and vocals on The River, Not Speaking. Neither one is the finished article as far as recording goes - I certainly wouldn't mind trying the vocals again without a massive head cold (and other assorted excuses!) - but you get the idea of the songs from the demos. The third, Emitting a Sound, is an Abodes tune on which I appear, taken from their new album Chicko Scene (available in its entirety as a FREE download on their page, www.myspace.com/abodesmusic).Anyway, I'll add new tunes and stuff as and when, in the meantime have a listen and let me know what you think.
