Music
I have played the drums for over 50 years - in many different outfits and situations. Highlights included travelling the world and recording with the legendary psychedelic prog/jazz group "Catapilla."Throughout I also wrote songs and music, for corporate presentations and video as well as developing my painting career. In 1993 I released an album of mainly instrumental music called "The Perfect Beach." This generated some generous press reviews - and this passing comment from Sound On Sound magazine's reviewer - "I am sure that a reworking of these ideas at some time, (perhaps after an equipment upgrade), would prove extremely fruitful."
Well, it's important not to rush these things so here I am, 27 years later about to release the follow-up - "Blue Forgotten Hills." Not so much a reworking of old ideas but all new material - 4 songs - and taking advantage of the creative possibilities offered by modern computer based recording technology.
I've had loads of fun writing and recording the tracks and making the accompanying videos - an opportunity to combine the two threads of my creative life. I hope you like it. Thanks for listening.
Blue Forgotten Hills EP now released on Spotify, iTunes and other streaming sites.
