I was born in Wales and have lived there most of my life but have recently relocated to Tenerife. I'm eclectic, eccentric and energetic! I'm a singer/songwriter, poet, author, freelance writer, actor, compere and a lot more! I have played & compered Glastonbury Festival and I have songs released on Crai Records. I am also a member of a Druid order, the Loyal Arthurian Warband . I am currently writing features for Tenerife News (paper) and Living Tenerife magazine . I am also very interested in nature and conservation, as well as being interested in the paranormal, UFOs, alernative history and conspiracies.
I have my main music site here:

And here is what the incredible Laura wrote about me:Words can barely describe the amazing, multi-talented, multi-faceted and multi-media phenomenon that is the Bard of Ely!!! Part eco-warrior, poet, Arthurian Druid, master of herblore, techno-folk fusion pioneer, MC, songwriter, singer, actor, writer and performer, the Bard has assumed cult status and is featured in many counter-culture books and articles ... a genuine iconic figure!Something else that distinguishes this talented artist is his enthusiastic and positive support for music and musicians, and his friendly, universally-respected presence across the online music community. We are proud to know him -Steve, the Bard of Ely!!!

A Voyage into All and Everything (based on a personal experience)
I was moving out of recognisable skies, land, sea and vegetation and found myself in increasingly strange, yet familiar and logical, geometric patterns of such intricacy I cannot even attempt to describe the reality of the sub-atomic existence I discovered at this level of being. Then, without any effort, as a nothingness without form or body, I was beyond even this state, which pervades and is the seeming basis of everything. I had moved through gateways, warps, inter-dimensional and inter-spatial doors and windows on to other realms. Buildings of living matter floated in darkened skies, small dwarfish beings with eyes like field-mice, who dwell in transparent domes in communal societies where all is understood and telepathically received, fisher-folk near vast lakes and shorelines, techno cities under unchanging heavens, together with symbiotic fungoid entities and the guiding spirits of super-novae all came within my perception, and then I was no more. For I was beyond the levels of the pure geometric energy and mathematical reality; I was only a non-existent being tuned to all energy, everything and nothing. Gateways signified access to anything and everything I desired knowledge of. I was no longer considering time or ordinary bodily needs, rather I would focus a thought and then that was all that I perceived. A voice, an understanding came to me, a voice with no volume to it, but not a still small voice for there was no size involved. There was no space, there was no time, only the infinite now and access to anything anywhere. I could view anything I desired at any point in time, any place, anywhere. I was looking at countless millions of my past incarnations with full understanding and perception. It was all so indescribable in its intricacy and beauty; the never-ending stream of existence we all are, and I am, going on and on forever and ever. A voice or thought that arrived in my mind, in my formless state, told me that I could remain there in this blissful existence of all knowledge, or return to my past state of life, but that I must choose, and choose now. I was aware that I was no longer individual, but part of everything and everyone forever, that each living thing, each animal, bird, reptile, fish, crustacean or insect, each human being, and every flower and tree, as well as all the microscopic life-forms, protozoans, bacteria, and each virus, together with every planet , star and galaxy, is only me, a never-ending, sharing, experiencing, creating, conceiving, considering, changing, multifaceted, timeless life-form of one spirit, one essence, with infinite viewing and perception points. Nothing good or bad, just pure ever-changing, yet staying the same existence - one cosmic colony. At that point, I thought of all the loved ones in my earthly life and views of streets, gardens, faces, hopes and dreams of the life I had chosen in the time period I had been in, came to mind for my instantaneous perusal. Because of my love for all that life held with its joys and sorrows, pleasures and pains, I realised that my choice had been made. And so, almost like being reborn, my ability to perceive and understand the whole cosmic structure and to view anything I wished with full perception, began to fade and rapidly diminish, losing access to all I had just had. I found myself again standing in the sunshine, on a cliff looking out to sea, amongst friends I had returned to live among. The world was much, much brighter, or so it seemed, and I was continuing my chosen pathway onwards.By Bard of Ely
