Rockin' at the Ace Cafe Rockin' at the Ace Cafe
Motorbiking at its best! If you can't imagine a combination of Status Quo, Bob Dylan, John Lennon and the Beach Boys, well you'll just have to hear it and form your own opinion.

Don't You Know Who I Am? Don't You Know Who I Am?
John Bartram's heart-rending but witty ballad with a gorgeous melody, harmony-building choruses and two-guitar solo break

The Imposter (Gibson 335 version) The Imposter (Gibson 335 version)

Here Comes the Reprise, Mama! Here Comes the Reprise, Mama!
A Reprise of 'Here Comes the Rain, Mama!' with lines from every other track on the album but based loosely on the title track.

The World Sings for You The World Sings for You
A gentle but powerful tribute to a very dear friend. An unusual track, part song, part instrumental.


Think Twice Think Twice
Plenty of good advice - some maybe a little tongue in cheek - and some great guitar.

The Imposter (Telecaster version) The Imposter (Telecaster version)

The Golden Years The Golden Years
The true story of how the annual 'Golden Years' rock'n'roll show began, which has since raised £85,000 for charity.

Spit & Polish Spit & Polish
Stomping rock song with a message that brushing up a relationship shouldn't be a chore. A touch of domination here? if you say so, darling...

Killing Machine Killing Machine
A slow-build song that creeps up on you, like the person it's about! Lead vocal by Pete Allen

Dozy River (demo) Dozy River (demo)
A languid song for summer days, ideal for anglers (spot the fish...)
