Hi, Thank you for dropping by. In case you dont already know , here is a little about me. I am a solo artist. The reason for this is mainly because I want to be but also no one will be in a band with me, and that makes me sad !! yeah right. I write all my own songs and play all the instruments, with a few noteable exceptions when a friend comes in and helps, a certain Sean Kinneavy sometimes comes right down to my level, cheers mate. Some are real instruments some are midi etc. I record it all, produce and then get the cd's pressed, I come up with the cd sleeve design etc. I have just started doing my own Videos to go with the songs and if I can work out how to !!! there will be links here and there to click on and go and see them, Once again, its all me, I may get some help in the future with camera holding but at the time of typing this, yep sad ol me , videoing acting animating directing and producing the vids.

So far I have two solo albums, first is called IT AINT OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS. This title came about because I actually quit all music some 26 years ago. Back then I did some touring and had a release of a single, albeit self released ( that sounds sexual - it wasnt) I did some Radio and TV with the bands I was in but time came I quit, I actually went on to do presenting on TV which was awesome for a few years, this was my out let for performance I think, I could perform and actually get paid, a novel thing in my world. For three weeks I even hosted a live Radio show at the same time as my live TV show.

Well I was , I thought happy enough, I left the station and started my own on line business, then I met on line someone who has become a firm and best friend a certain John Guilar of STORMTREE fame, smashing bloke. He shared some of his own material with me and after swapping emails for a few weeks I sent him some of my old stuff, well to cut a long story short, its his fault, he inspired me and fired me back up again to start writing and playing, not so easy as I am not a guitarist , I was always a frontman, and a pretty good one at that, I had to be to make up for a lack in the singing in tune department !!. Well because of John and also when he found out I was back, Sean's input and constant encouragement and belief I got back into and now re love my music.

One of the exciting things is also a drawback sometimes, the aloneness of it all, it is awesome I dont have to compromise with band members but frustratiing sometimes when I cant play whats in my head, but I get damn close if not on the money with some tricks I learnt and constant ( I hope) improvement .

So Fat Lady was the first, I made a mistake of allowing myself to get too excited as I got close to the finish of the Album and added three tracks from the past, really to speed up the release, that was a mistake so if you listen or better buy the Fat Lady album ? Miss out the Christmas song, Mr Money and Oh yeah ( although a lot of folk like Oh Yeah !??).

Then I started on NOTHING TO HIDE my second solo album and much much closer to me, in my humble opinion it has ten stunning tracks on it, I am still, some 7 months later , well happy and proud of every track on the Album and indeed have it in my car and listen through choice. Ego ? maybe, but why write, play, sweat blood and tears to do something you dont either like ar are too embarresed to listen to ? if someone out there wrote my songs ? I would buy the Album because its the style I want to hear, so its the style I play, seems simple to me although there are still some that put it down to an ego apparantly I have ? go figure !!.

So what now ? well as I said there are now Videos being produced for the tracks and links are now on the MUSIC page here on the site and Album three, DEAD FAMOUS is all but done, slightly different I guess from Nothing to Hide ? maybe but its all me and well I aint clever enough to completly change my style and sound and if I was I wouldnt anyway.

 I  get quite a lot of Radio air play, special thanks to AIIR RADIO the FIRST to play my new  stuff and brave enough to play FUCK EM from Fat Lady.

The future ? who knows, I didnt re start to make it man, far too long in the tooth for all that malarky, so what where how and when ? I guess it is up to people like you, after all if you read this far I either have a fan, someone looking to pull me down or someone with just far too much time on their hands, but I like to think fan !! so cheers, now if we can get a lot more people like you to look and listen ? well who knows.

Enjoy the site, yeah its something else I have done myself, seems to me if you want something done !!! feel free to contact me, in fact I encourage it, bit lonely here all alone
