There are two things you should know about me; one, I love music and two, the words “trouble at mill” have a certain ring (no pun intended) to them with regards to certain bodily functions of mine

Over the last year I wrote and recorded my own album “Surrender to Happiness”. Having spent a number of years playing and singing in various bands I decided I would do my own thing, answerable to no one but myself. As I can play the guitar, drums, piano, clarinet and sing, I set about the arduous and time consuming task of recording most of the instruments myself. As you can hear from the downloads I am “jack of all and master of none” but it’s the song which counts.

I have also used some great musicians on tracks who have added such sparkle. Big thanks to Sam Semple, Mike Palmer, Mike Veness, Marcus McCarroll, Mat Newcomb and Jeremy Chestnutt. Also thanks to Billy Traxler at Battenburg Recording Studios for recording and producing the album. His encouragement and enthusiasm was paramount. Lastly thanks to Sean Hayden for his stunning art work/design on the album and this web site.

If you enjoy the songs on this site, come and check out the live gigs and get a copy of the full album. For the record my favourite songwriter is Pete Townshend from The Who and favourite author is Graham Greene.
