ABOUT

I need to find another musician/musicians wanting to record songs or a CD; I write songs but find putting it all together on my own quite hard and a bit lonely sometimes... the recording bit anyway!
Not seeking a gigging life now as I have a baby and young daughter at home, but I would like to contribute songs to a band that was going to record or perform.

Influences

Peter Hammill a bit, Hendrix too, Len Cohen quite often, Mark Knopfler though not as much has rubbed off as I would like! And quite a few guys I have just done music with in my life too.

EQUIPMENT

Tascam recorder on loan; Condenser mic; my own workshop with studio space but not insulated, seeking to borrow electric drums (yesterday I aquired electric drums so work can start!) to keep there for recording; BK 50Z7 with wide spaced strings; Roland 30watt cube and and Roland 80 watt stereo amp; Wilson Mercury bass; old classical acoustic guitar, and small PA.

I wrote the guitar and melody, then Gwyn put the first verse of words to it, and me the second verse and chorus.

I wrote this as a Christmas song last year; both the young nuns mentioned in it can be seen in my profile photos. I wrote it two days before Christmas, recorded it Christmas Eve, and delivered the CD to Sister Stella on Christmas Day.
