His sweet soulful singing combines with classic writing to produce an artist who only needs his voice and guitar to move mountains. Maybe a shade of Tracy Chapman on first listening yet you are soon taken on a musical journey that visits hit song after hit song, all different and yet all Art.""....Art was recently voted Most Laid Back Man In The Universe, but that doesn't stop him writing wonderful new songs and singing and playing them with utter conviction

Stonecutters of West Country

Mighty giant rocks standing proudly in a circle of mysteryShrouded in a million questions of a thousand years or moreIn your time-scape, who was your Pythagoras?

London Snow

Soft white fluff like cotton candyFell on every roof top, pavements and trees I am now that child again peeking by the window pane
