About Me

Let me tell you a Story...Mark went to an acoustic session at a local pub thinking it was an instrumental folk session where everyone joins in. It was in fact an open mic and the thought of doing a public song & dance routine frankly terrified him. But with huge amounts of encouragement from those there, he started writing and performing what can best be described as poetry-based songs.His logic was that self-penned humour could not be compared to anyone else's work and therefore had to be accepted for what it is. He has got away with it so far.________________________________________________________ ________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________ Objective : to amuse
