Ok, 3 months in now, song number 14. It’s getting difficult, I’ve used all my tricks up. Skin of my teeth this week. Logged on to Trailer Star’s website and came up with a tune for the lyrics of this weeks song ‘Down By The River’. Trailer’s lyrics are slightly more poetic than the way [...]

Published March 24th, 2008 in A Song A Week, Music, Shop and music. 0 CommentsThis weeks song is called Buddy Holly Sung The Songs. I wrote it for Spencer Leigh’s Buddy Holly Special on Radio Merseyside.

Lots of wonderfully expensive new shops will be opening there very soon. I can barely [...]
A Song A Week 03/03/08 - English Country Heart
Published March 3rd, 2008 in A Song A Week, Music, music and song. 0 CommentsSong number 10. A bit late putting this up as I have a stupendous hangover today. Thank you Rob Ellen…
Another Trailer Star co-write, this is called English Country Heart and I think it’s a bit Teenage Fanclub sounding. This is not a flag waving song. As Joe Strummer said ‘I’m anti-fascist, anti-racist, pro-creative.’
