I am currently recording a new album of self-penned material and several tracks have already been mixed – some of which we’re written during lockdown. The aim is to have this project completed in the autumn – so watch this space!
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.
Nicoll Road 3m 23s
Shame 3m 8s
You hurt no-one but yourself 4m 48s
All over you 4m 12s
Radio play 3m 8s
The golden age of this romance 3m 35s
