“Drift” is a rapturous slow dance with a gentle sway. Piano, guitar, and light percussion elicit sighs of contentment”.

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”. Hope you like it…

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. Squally, stormy, bright sunshine one moment, dark ominous clouds and hail the next, but always very, very windy…
