Artist picture
It's been described many things over the years: symphonic prog rock, prog rock, classic rock and general progressive rock.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, arranger and composer. I've worked as a session musician and sound engineer. I've played in many different bands up and down the country, covering numerous styles. I now do solo work and currently recording an album, which I'm hoping to take out on the road on a Pubs and Clubs tour at some point. My gear consists of: One Red Special replica, based on Brian May's, played through a Vox AC30 with a Boss Pedalboard, consisting of Boss Equaliser, Ibanez Tubescreamer, Marshall Chorus, Boss Acoustic Simulator (live use only), Boss Digital Delay and Boss Compressor/Sustainer. One 5-string bass, based on my own design and specs, played through an SWR Super Redhead with an SWR Interstellar Overdrive pre-amp. Both guitars were made by Hugh Manson, of Manson Guitars. I also use steel and nylon strung acoustics including a 12-string acoustic, an 8-string mandolin, a Yamaha DJX keyboard and a Rogue 8-string bass.

Story behind the song
Originally written on the piano after playing about with a mandolin motif, it was later adapted to the guitar so I could play it live and also so I wouldn't have lug my keyboard around with me!!
Lyrics
Looking back On my past There were some things That weren't meant to last All the things that happened Happened to me I suppose were meant Were meant to be I know I can't turn back the clock And even if I could I don't think I would Cos all those things were meant to be Meant to be Memories are things I hold dear They help me through When I'm facing fear And although they don't Always help with what I need There'll always be room for one more Should I succeed But should I fail Then so be it At least I know I gave my best shot at it Memories You're fading away Come back again And haunt my days You're always there When I'm feeling down And there's nowhere else to go Except for the ground You affect my mood Whether it's good Whether it's bad You make me happy Or you make me sad Living on The crest of a wave Sleeping in The bed that I crave Wherever or whoever I am I know you're always there Sharing my remorse And my despair And when I take a bad step It's permanently engraved And it'll stay there Until I reach my grave Memories Don't fade away What can I do To make you stay? I am tired Tired of being alone So now I'm leaving And I'm heading home Don't try to stop 'Cos it's where I wanna be
