I am currently recording a new album of self-penned material with the aim of releasing this on vinyl as soon as possible in 2021. The tracks include songs written as long ago as the early 1980s, through to brand new songs created during lockdown.
In the meantime, as an example of my catalogue, my album ‘Birdcage’ featuring the following 11 self-penned originals, is available via Spotify and on many major sites including iTunes and Amazon.
