Vesperal salutations! I am a lyricist/occasional melody maker from upstate Yorkshire. For over a decade I have been composing lyrics and collaborating with a whole array of talented musicians to make real SONGS! Some of these you can hear here.
Lifeline was demo-ed by West End Musical star and former Eurovision songstress Frances Ruffelle .
Current projects include writings with Robert George Saull , who performs on The One I Love The Most (available above) and also The Bankrupt with his former band Patricians, which also features Doug Needham vocalising and writing on the 60-second micro-song above, who is also undertaking further writings with me.
Additionally, I am writing for local Sheffield entertainment act Smooch! and approaching studio time with Karis Fiorrucci on an EP entitled Lest You Never Return, for which you can see the artwork in the My Pictures section.
I have currently just begun writings for my eleventh studio album, which has a working title of Stronger With Connections Severed. The first track is called 2-1 = Independece and is about the shattering of relationships due to selfishness of all those involved. This will be included on the new album because of a tangible shift in writing style, a more anihilistic, final nature will pervade the album. Two more songs have been written for inclusin here too.
This is not to say, however, that album 10 is completed...Lest You Never Return LP is still in the finalising process and still has 6 unfinished tracks which I want to use as B-Sides and Bonus Tracks, to give you something extra!
I am making a foray into the DJing world too...after DJing at student clubnights and houseparties in Sheffield to positive reactions, I have now conceived the semi-alter-ego DJ Pickles (it is my name after all!) and created my first DJ Mix CD, entitled Setlist.

I am always open to new collaborations...if you fancy a pop at doing music for my lyrics, get in touch. Also, if you think you have what it takes to be a singer, add me, sing for me, and we shall create together the sublime magic of SONGS!
