About Me

Many thanks to Neil Preston at www.uniquesongs.com for recording and producing my songs!By day I'm a Primary School Teacher but I've been writing songs, poems and playing the guitar (and other instruments) since I was about 9 and singing since I was in nappies... it's a passion that remains! Apparently whilst singing along to Bob Marley's Kinky Reggae I used to sing Cakey Wakey. Nearly right!Lucky enough to be born into a musical family I tinkered with various instruments from an early age - there were all kinds around that we used to have fun on! Eventually guitar and singing were the things I stuck with. I've been in many bands and started busking for charity age 10. Over the years I've done loads of charity gigs/songwriting for charity etc. My gigs have been in all kinds of different venues (and countries!) and I have a lot of recording experience. I won't list all the gigs here as there are too many! I've been busy writing lots of new stuff that I plan to record very soon.I've worked with Hemstock&Jennings, they are internationally known chart hitting Hard Trance DJs/Producers. They're on www.leshemstock.com and they wrote the track Nothing But You that hit the charts big time when Paul Van Dyk collaborated with them on a remix of it. Les Hemstock was previously known as Jive Bunny. I've recorded with them, a chilled version of their dance chart hitting single 'Mirage'. After hearing my version of Silence by Delerium with just me and my guitar they asked me to something similar for the track. Great fun! I also sang live for them with only a few hours notice after they heard me play live for the first time. Their singer had fallen ill. It was at Promse at the Foundation (nightclub) in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. I aboslutely loved it! I love playing with bands and doing singer/songwriter stuff but I also love dance music. The buzz watching everyone dancing with glowsticks and smiling while I sang a couple of their tunes and the club version of Silence was amazing! My party piece is hitting those high notes! I have to be really belting it out though which is why my cover is in the lower octave in the chorus! I find it suits the accoustic version.I've played solo on a few radio stations, in the UK and in Thailand (where I had my own show for a while). The UK stations were BBC Radio Stoke and Signal Radio. The internet radio station was radiogetswild.com, they played my track a couple of times.The live slots at the festivals I played solo at were tremendous fun. They were EarthHeart, EarthWise and Shambala. At Shambala the sound guy mastered me a live CD of the set. My first CD was a 4 track EP which I sold copies of at gigs and whilst busking for a while.I used to have a regular slot at The Comedy Store in Stoke-on-Trent, just me and me guitar - but not as a comedian, even if I tell a funy joke I ruin it and no-one laughs! This slot finished as I went off to Australia for a few months. I've been the support act to Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze...to name but a few things!I have many orginal unrecorded songs that I will be recording soon when I've finished setting up (and learning to use!) my home system. The songs that are on here were originally recorded with just me and my trusty eletrco-accoustic guitar and then the Producer Neil added the rest. I handed over full creative control for these versions! I imagine my songs working either with a band or with electronic music. If I was to be signed (and making a living from music has always been my dream) I would need to get together with musicians etc as I gig solo at the moment.Recently I've been working and recording with some electronic music producers and it's been great fun. I will also be recording with a signed established trance/progressive house producer soon (just as soon as my kit is fixed and set up!) Fun!I'm always keen to jam with new people! Feel free to send me a message! :-)
