A song about family funerals and how I feel about them.

A song about the English Civil War. The blackbird's song was recorded in my garden one summer evening.

A tribute to the men and women who worked the coal mines in the North East England and elsewhere of course. Those mines no longer exist and in particular this song is a tribute to my 2X great grandfather, George Robson, who died in the 1858 Page…

Inspired by Billy Collins' Poem "Aimless Love".

Simply, a song about the horrific waste of life of the two World Wars but more generally applicable in the current climate.

A song of warning to sailors who may meet a pretty young woman and think they can take advantage of her.

A ghostly song of bewitchment...

A song about deportation from Britain to Australia for minor crimes such as poaching.

A song about old abandoned stone farm houses on British moors.

All about, John Lynn, my 2x great grandfather who was a coachman to the 10th Earl of Strathmore.

Four seasons of love

A song about the ending of slavery in Britain....

A tale of hardship...

Was visiting Glasgow at the old docks and not a ship to be seen. I was imagining the days when the Clyde must have been crammed deck to deck with sail boats of all kinds. Very ghostly now...

A song in a folk idiom about England's Wars Of The Roses

So I had this old box of handwritten lyrics and chords of songs I played a long time ago. Thought I'd write a song about it as a kind of backstory to my musical journey!

Thought VIOLET would be a nice ending for Dogwood Days. It's an instrumental foreshadowing me new and completely instrumental CD called WHAT MUST PASS. I'll be uploading tracks from this soon.

Travelling is all very nice but don't be away too long.......

Waiting at Heathrow when the Virgin Air Crew walked through was where this started....

A cold wet night, a couple of hours to get to the airport to catch a flight, cars swishing past, and waiting for that airport shuttle...thinking back....
