A song written after a visit to Greenwich Park in London and a walk up the hill, with its magnificent view of Royal College, the river, Canary Wharf - the permanent and changing things in life.

Tooting Moon Tooting Moon
A song about the moon! - in this case a big bright one floating over my daughter's home in Tooting, south London, on a very cold New Year's night. It is in a traditional format for popular song - verse, verse, bridge, verse.

All Those Songs About Sunny California All Those Songs About Sunny California
Lots of embedded quotes for the lyric geeks in this one, written in 1983 following a trip to California in 1980. Best as a duet, as here where my daughter Katie supplies the female part.

The Last House In Erskine Street The Last House In Erskine Street
A song about slum clearance in Liverpool and one of the most enduring numbers in my canon. With its sense of 'the old ways were best' it fits a sterotype of the folk genre (how many folk singers does it take to change a light bulb, etc.)

The Cradle The Cradle
A song about life (no less!) built on a simple G, Em C, D chord repitition on the guitar. I added the piano and second guitar.

Sands of the River Sands of the River
A simple joyful 'pop-y' song in the archetypal verse, verse, bridge format. Hear Grandad Tom's harmonica enter the sound spectrum on verse 3! All intruments played by me and recorded multi-track.
