Stories Of Old (A Knight's Tale)
An acoustic guitar version of a tune we used to sing at Junior school.(That's 8 to 11 years for those of you not from the UK) It's a melody that I can remember well from all those years ago.

Tribes Ancient & Modern (Flying with the Shamen)
An experimental 'Tribal' piece created for the Coconut Blues Club Challenge (April 2011). A musical collage of keyboard generated sounds, drum beats, bass guitar, and guitar. All given a psychedelic flavoured mix.

The Minstrel Boy to the war has gone
Starting with a solo finger picked acoustic 12 string guitar, building up to a fuller 'band' sound. Leading out with a solo 12 string and snare drum. A Yamaha APX-4-12A electro acoustic, miked with a AKG 1000S microphone. Whistling by yours truly !

Nectar Of The Gods
A gentle 'acoustic' ambient piece using my Yamaha PSR 275 keyboard to mimic the sound of a Lyre, Pan-pipes and a 'heavenly' male/female choir. I've also used a couple of natural 'outdoor' samples; crickets chirping and bees 'buzzing'.
