Drift Away…
I loved writing and recording this song from my album “Heading West” because of the instrumentation I used to convey it’s spirit.  To describe it I couldn’t do any better than music reviewer Kathy Parsons who did me the honour of reviewing the album in 2013…
“Drift” is a rapturous slow dance with a gentle sway. Piano, guitar, and light percussion elicit sighs of contentment”.
Not Just Oil on Canvas
A good friend of mine, the artist Simon Parker gave me one of his paintings of a beautiful beach near our home.  How lucky am I?  Simon’s work is available through Saatchi Art if you fancy a gander 🙂
Summer Day Dreams
I’m just finishing off a job I had last summer writing conservation management plans for several National Trust castle and mansion gardens, and this photo has briefly transported me back from the cold and the rain to more serene days of glorious summer…

You know how every country has a national anthem? Well, not being much of subscriber to nationalism myself, I thought I’d compose an anthem for land, people and nature wherever they may be found.
“This Land of Ours” is from my album “Round River” and can be purchased  here, or here, or here 🙂

I probably shouldn’t do this but I’m excited about writing and recording new songs for my next album, so I wanted to preview just one of them, a simple song called “You Know Me”. Â Hope you like it…

Rolling Stones…
I rather like this photo by Mike Alexander, taken between the winter storms on a beach called Hells Mouth on the west coast of Wales
Today’s Storm Walk
On the West Wales coast. Â Squally, stormy, bright sunshine one moment, dark ominous clouds and hail the next, but always very, very windy…
