Self-written songs
Initially, the tracks on my CDs were mostly covers of contemporary or traditional folk songs. In December 2018, I released my first CD of self-written songs titled 'Post Modern Man' which was a 'solo' recording where I played all the instruments.
​
For my second CD of self-written songs 'Postcards from England' (2019), I was joined by a group of friends to give the recording more of a 'band' feel.
My third CD, again of self-written songs, '65 Million BC to AD 1945' (2021) was an attempt to create an historical 'concept' CD and was performed as a trio with two friends providing the bass and percussion rhythm section.
​
My fourth CD of self-written songs, 'The More You Think it Changes....' (2023), has more of a 'folk rock' feel to it and I'm joined by three friends to help create the fuller sound.
​
Each CD can be downloaded below at the stated cost. However, if you would like to hear simpler versions of each song with just vocals and a single instrument, then you're welcome to access these 'free' from the Acoustic Playlist box further down. My aim is to upload an acoustic version of each original song that I write, in the hope that other singers might be inspired to sing some of the songs and spread them a little further afield.
​
You will find word and chord sheets to accompany each acoustic recording under the 'Songs-Words' link at the top of this page. As stated, these acoustic versions are offered as 'free' downloads; all I ask is that you credit myself as the songwriter, if performing them in public, and please do let me know how you get on.
