Hi folks. I have added a lot of videos recently. Please take a look!
Hi folks, This site acts as a personal archive of my work. So you'll find my best recordings here as well as some pretty crappy ones. The earliest recordings here were made on simple cassette decks, others were made on mobile phones, some are live recordings made at various gigs over the years, a handful were made in small recording studios, but most of the more recent ones were made at home on a Zoom portable studio, which itself is now rather ancient! If you like a song and want to download it, click on 'Full song info' for that song and you will see the download link. You can also read the lyrics and any background information on the songs that I may have added. All my music is available for free - enjoy :) cheers, Charles

Lyrics
Well the battle is raging Years after the war And there's that old old question What are we fighting for? Is it to save a nation? Or for the corporation? Does anyone know From above to below? When the ocean is rising And there's no time to run And you know that you're drowning Can you blame anyone? From the beaches of Aceh To the streets of Tehran Is there ever a reason? Is there ever a plan? Don't go looking for answers In dusty old books Don't trust in religion And don't vote for crooks Just keep your eyes open And your mind on the stars And I'll meet you somewhere Between Venus and Mars
