These are just done in front of a nice Beyerdynamic studio mic, with my pickups sent through my oc pedal then D.I.'d.

My music is now available for download.....

.........in most of the usual places. You can buy Eden on iTunes, click the logo below, but it should be popping up in Amazon, Deezer, Tesco Mp3 and all those kind of places any day now.

Keep watching the stores (if you actually like what I do!), because I have the intention of being much more prolific with song production, and adding a lot more tracks for download only at these stores.


As a musician, it's a double edged sword....this kind of distribution will never allow someone like me to make a living from music sales, but at the end of the day, no-one makes music unless they want at least
someone
to hear it. This seems like the best way to get heard further afield than my back yard.


By the way, if anyone wants to add a review to iTunes, good or bad, as long as it's fair(!), please carry on.....I would  appreciate your time! 


Not my usual style.......

Dance to your Daddy (Trad.)
Live recording....lo-fi!

I have been listening to a lot of the amazing folk guitar player, Nic Jones, and I found a recording of his version of this, I like it better than the North-Eastern version about drinking etc....it seems positive. It reminded me of my two young sons, so I thought I'd try and play it myself! Learned it as I went really!

A couple of raw demos for you;

A couple of Raw Demo versions;

I decided to make use of the little recording device I've been carrying around for interviewing people for the last few months, and catalog some 'work in progress' songs /ideas I've had. I uploaded some rough demos, these are literally; Guitar-recording device-computer-uploaded.....no effects or mixing of any kind, just one take into the mic and chucked up on line. 
I figured it's good to bare yourself every now and then, keeps you real!

Please excuse the 'singing', I was just half assed because I was tracking ideas, the thought of posting them up came later....
