This week’s song is called Insufferable and quite clearly at times I am. Be warned I kick the mic stand about a 3rd of the way through and didn’t have time to redo it so if you are listening at full volume prepare for a Jaws/Carrie moment.*

Published August 26th, 2008 in A Song A Week, Gig, Music, News, gigs, music and song. 0 CommentsThis week’s song is called Carry It With Me and I’ve written it because me and mine are moving away from Liverpool in October to Glossop in North Derbyshire. I’ve never lived more than 10 miles from where I was born so it’s an upheaval for me but one I think will be good for [...]
Some acoustic gigs coming up and here’s a flyer/poster thing that you can print out and draw false taches on and the like. Or not.
The Inverness shows will have the lovely Mark Byrne noodling on guitar with me and the View 2 gig is supporting Kirsty Mcgee.

A Song A Week -21/07/08 - It’s A Strange Life
Published July 21st, 2008 in A Song A Week, Gig, Music, Shop, gigs and music. 0 CommentsThis weeks song is called It’s A Strange Life and indeed it is.

I knew that, honest.

Published June 30th, 2008 in A Song A Week, Captain Pop, Gig, Music, gigs, music and song. 0 CommentsAbout 10% of the songs written this year i consider finished. By that I mean the melody, chords and words rather than the recordings, I’m hoping to re-rcord as many as I can, and this week’s is no exception, it’s partly written. It’s called Indigo and is the first I’ve written with it being a [...]
A Song A Week - 19/05/08 - Sweethearts and Swells
Published May 19th, 2008 in A Song A Week, Gig, Music, gigs, music and song. 0 CommentsHere’s song number 22 (two little ducks quack quack) called Sweethearts and Swells. A bit of a Nick Lowe/Elvis Costello vibe going on here I think. Very short slice of power pop.

A Song A Week - 23/09/08 - The Blame Game
Published September 23rd, 2008 in A Song A Week, Comment, Gig, Music, News, gigs, music and song. 0 CommentsBack to the now traditional only one day late, this week’s song is about self loathing or a sociopath. It might be a mix of both conditions, I’m never quite sure what most of my songs are about, but I know what they mean.
It’s called The Blame Game play or right click to download.
