The first songs I really recall clearly are Telstar by the Tornados in 1962 and my introduction to The Beatles ‘She Loves You’ in 1963. Since then I have been in love with music, especially on the spectrum between poprock and progressive rock. My head has been full of songs and lyrics for a whole lifetime but being unable to play an instrument there was no way for these to get out. Then in my early sixties I started to learn keyboard with the help of my tutor Peter O’Hare. It’s been just a few years but with the aid of my home studio and recording tech, the songs are now finding a way out (along with accompanying videos). I write in the space between rock, pop, alternative and folk genres.

This site is a record of that learning journey, starting in 2018. It’s a diary of the things I see, read and feel, captured in words and music. In January 2021 I completed my first full album of songs ‘Another Sunset’.

In February 2021 I entered my song ‘Everywhere and Nowhere’ for the Talent is Timeless song competition and in April of that year I joined the online songwriters group ‘Song a Week’ and am now working towards writing and recording a new song each week. This led to the creation of three new album collections in 2021.

I will put my 2022 songs into album collections in early 2023 and should hit my target of 100 songs in 100 weeks by February 2023 (writing, recording and making a video for each). Follow that journey here.
