About Me

I'm a singer/songwriter/watercolour artist, based near Beverley in the beautiful county of East Yorkshire, UK. Often performing solo (just me and a gorgeous Fender acoustic guitar), I occasionally play in a small covers band that goes by the name of Pick ‘N’ Mix. My songs aren’t always the ‘singalong’ type, but are quite often ‘thinkalong’, if you get my drift, and even the humorous ones can sometimes have a meaning.~~~~Songwriting has become a way of life and to take things a bit further I’m now working on my first CD, after spending many years experimenting in the murky world of 4-track tape recorders. This is finally enabling me to make a better job of welding drum patterns, keyboards and bass onto my original song ideas, and you’ll find some of the results here on this myspace page. I’m planning to make a CD of about ten songs available later in the autumn of 2008, so if you would like a copy please send me a message and I’ll make a note of your details.~~~~I’m always on the lookout for different places to play, so if you’re a promoter and you’d like to give me a gig then please get in touch, either via myspace or by email: [email protected].~~~~Thanks for looking and listening~~~~
