Sounds Like: Hey - I pride myself in the fact that you can't begin to pigeon-hole my own songs - take a listen, buy the CD from my personal site. It's very varied.
One of my great influences is the late, great Jake Thackray and when I do his songs I'm told I sound quite like him.
The band stuff is pretty hard to catogorise. Reckless Elbow is a bit like the Saw Doctors crossed with Christy Moore and Fairport Convention; The Miv Cameron Band is like Clannad crossed with Dougie MacLeane and a 70's prog-rock band at their most surreal. Work that one out!
