a jolly upbeat song with acoustic guitar lead break

a jazzy number featuring Roger Brawn on acoustic guitar

a pop song!

the first of the 'novelty foxtrots'

a folk song with a 'poppish' chorus featuring Steve Franks on lead guitar

I seem to have written an Appalachian style murder ballad... guitars and mandolin - and a deep country harmony from Steve.

A rare chorus-less song, driving along. So no chorus but two different instrumental breaks, piano and guitar, both of which I'm rather pleased with..

a rather jazzy song with syncopated rhythm

an atmospheric acoustic song with a maritime theme

a folky, nautical number with guitar and mandolin

twenties jazz style featuring Roger Brawn

folky number with a hurdy-gurdy drone and mandolins

smoky jazz with Steve Franks on lead and Jon Garvey providing the wonderful sax as ever.

a spikey folk-punk number

A twenties-style Charleston!

A tribute to the classic Goffin and King song 'Up On The roof' with an Indian twist. The instrumental is a heavily manipulated sitar sample.

A raw acoustic song written soon after the untimely death of my friend and early collaborator Ralph Simpson in 2015.
