Who Are Your Tears For?
Acoustic based folk rock protest song with the electric bass driving the rhythm.
Psychotic's Lament
Acoustic track, rather sardonic song, which almost defies labelling. Glorious violin solo from Graham Smith.
The Eagle And The Scorpion
Essentially an acoustic based song with astonishing violin work from Graham Smith with which to play out the track. Almost sounds like a guitar solo Hendrix would have been proud of!
Stay Around
Very poignant and moving ballad with an exquisite and very tasteful electric guitar solo from Syd Riley
Waiting For Godot
Tuneful pop/rock song with two complementary guitar solos from Syd Riley on different tracks.

One gig I'll always remember is a charity gig at the Farrington Inn in Somerset in 1997. People used to hearing the gentler, acoustic side of my music were blown away by me belting out rock and blues numbers!
Your musical influences
I've been mainly inspired by artists who write great lyrics like Dylan, Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Al Stewart, Elvis Costello and of course The Beatles and The Kinks, two bands who, in my opinion, have never been surpassed in terms of marrying great tunes to great words. I was very disappointed a few years ago when, having purchased a ticket for a Ray Davies concert at Bristol's Colston Hall, I had to miss it because of illness!READ MORE

I love this piece. It is a wonderful composition. As a critique I would say less reverb, but perhaps that was the sound you were looking for. Worthy of the position it holds on SoundClick. You are a consummate guitarist and musicician!
