Cry Baby Cry (An Underground Trip) Cry Baby Cry (An Underground Trip)
Not so much a cover, more of a re-imagining of a slightly underplayed Beatles song. It is of course hidden away on side 4 of The Beatles 'White Album' just before revolution #9. I've added lots of other sounds to this 'production/arrangement'.
Heavy Disguise (Grosvenor Square 1968) Heavy Disguise (Grosvenor Square 1968)
This is a 'mock out-door recording'. I wanted it to sound like a busker playing his guitar too close to Grosvenor Square in 1968 when the anti-Vietnam war demonstration got just a little 'out of hand'. This is a cover of a song by The Strawbs.
Catch The Wind (Kings Cross) Catch The Wind (Kings Cross)
A mock 'live' recording of me as a busker outside Kings Cross railway station in London. Part of my evolving 'The Underground', album. Feel free to throw a few coins in my direction ... folding money would be ever better :)
This Station Is ... This Station Is ...
An instrumental with voice samples from the London Underground.
The UNDERGROUND Into The Tunnels The UNDERGROUND Into The Tunnels
An instrumental for a bigger project.
Highways To Paradise Highways To Paradise
Created for the Clicker's Club August 2015 music challenge. A Pop/Rock song in the style of mid-period Be Bop Deluxe. I've incorporated some trade-mark Bill Nelsonisms, both musical and lyrically.
The Only Living Boy In New York The Only Living Boy In New York
I wanted this to sound like a busker singing it in a large space like a railway station foyer or in the Subway. So I've always called this my, Kings Cross Station Foyer Busker's version.
End Of The Season (instrumental) End Of The Season (instrumental)
A melancholy guitar instrumental with jazzy overtones. An interplay of both acoustic and jazzy electric guitars.
Baby I Can't Please You (Instrumental) Baby I Can't Please You (Instrumental)
An instrumental interpretation of the hit song of 1994 by Sam Phillips. A song from her album, 'Martinis & Bikinis'.

I Want You To Want Me [45 rpm radio mix] I Want You To Want Me [45 rpm radio mix]
A lively sixties Pop song. Originally released in 1963 by The Shadows ... yes, they did vocal songs too. This is probably their best one. I came across it quite by accident recently and thought it deserved to be heard again.
Three Steps To Heaven (Instrumental Option) Three Steps To Heaven (Instrumental Option)
An instrumental version of this old Rock 'n Roll Eddie Cochran song. This is unapologetically in the style of Hank Marvin and The Shadows. I used my Yamaha Pacifica 612V guitar
Three Steps To Heaven Three Steps To Heaven
As accurate a re-creation of Eddie Cochran's hit song as I can manage. Lots of vocals and as with the original, a quite sparse arrangement. ...snare drum, 2 rhythm guitars and bass guitar. 2 lead vocals and 4 backing vocals.
Teddy Boys Teddy Boys
A nostalgic, look back to the music of the Rock & Roll era. Unapologetically influenced by the twangy guitar sounds of Duane Eddy. Some appropriate voice samples help to take you back to the 1950s.
Living On Borrowed Time Living On Borrowed Time
A Rock song with some guitar flavours from the early 1970s. OK, I own up ... there's a small musical 'steal' from an early Be Bop Deluxe song in the intro riff !
Autumn Promenade 1965 Autumn Promenade 1965
A wistful melancholy guitar instrumental with echoes of a bygone era. The 'Glitterball', in the dancehall is turned off and dust mites float in the dim interior. In your mind's eye, you can still hear the instrumental beat group up on the stage.
Only the Neon Remains Only the Neon Remains
After the fun-fair burnt down, all that remains is the twisted, burnt and rusting steel skeletons of the rides ... and very strangely, the neon signs still come on and flicker for a few brief moments at random times in the night. Maybe it's haunted!
The Endless Sea ( 2024 Re-mix) The Endless Sea ( 2024 Re-mix)
This evocative guitar instrumental had been stored away unheard and un-used since 2021. After listening to it again, I decided that it really is much too interesting to be discarded, and that it really needed to be included on an album.
