Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Story behind the song
A silly song I made up whilst pushing my grandson along the river Thames
Lyrics
AE 15 Sailing Down the River AAEE7 AAB7E AADD AAEA Sailing down the river Sailing down the river Sailing down the river on a Sunday afternoon x2 DDAA EEAA DDAA B7B7E B7E You don't need a pearly jacket Or a perky pork-pie hat If your skint or make a packet There's no consequence to that You can eat your whelks or winkles You can eat your jellied eels Be you young or old with wrinkles I know just how you feels You may walk with strides a-flapping Or favour drainpipe style But youll not catch me napping Though you run round all the while Well you may think Im daydreaming As I drift on with the tide But no matter what youre scheming You wont take me for a ride You may twist or jive or boogie Or prefer the Lambeth Walk You can call your girl your floozy But thats no way to talk You may be an opera singer Or go for bathtime serenades You wont have to raise a finger On such sunny summer days ?
