As they are finalised, all music demos and collaborations will be published here with links to the corresponding lyrics.
This Old Earth
And a voice cries out in the night:
‘Time’s over - time’s up - this old earth’s had enough - time to give back all you took’
Bad Things
Not me. Certainly not you. Those real Bad Folk… Yeh - you know who you are!…
Some Day
I started writing this 20 years ago as an apology. It was never accepted.
Quite right, too!
Cruel World
Welcome to a little slice of darkness.
‘No corpses were hurt in the making of this song…’
Bring Your Love Outside
Inspired by a recent Mark Cawley song, "What Would Lennon Do?" Turning on the TV news can be a grim view of the world – the power of positive voices.
Sweet Demon Angel
A co-write with Jack Bowden - he’s pretty damn good, I’d say!…
Never Miss The Water
‘Don’t know what you've got till it’s gone’ doesn’t feel like a good place to be heading.
The One Before The One
Never meeting ‘The One’.
Worse - all your ex-lovers marry the next one that comes along – you’re always ‘The One Before The One’.
Give Me Impossible Things
Winner - UK Songwriting Contest - best lyrics.
Thank you Makayla Colonello! Brought those words to life - feels a long time ago - still not released!…
Self-belief - daring to go for what really matters to you - no matter how far away it feels. Me and songwriting!
Another You
Me and my pal John McCormack.
A bit Film Noir maybe - whatever it is, I like it!
Cheers John C!
Some Day (Unplugged)
I started writing this 20 years ago as an apology. It was never accepted.
Quite right, too!
Candles for Krishna
Finding a little faith somewhere - starting on the inside.
Love Drop

In Your Eyes
The melody & the vocals are both Kris Sandberg ('Italo Brothers’) - great friends / collaborators in Germany (Kris & Dietmar).

Rose Of New Orleans
Semi-Finalist for Best Song Lyrics at UK Songwriting Contest 2015.
The unique celebration of love, life & death in New Orleans. A rose tattoo marks the death of a loved one - brass bands lead grand processions through the streets - celebrating the lives of those that have gone on. The first line - the family and loved ones; the second line - all others who mourn.
Float Away
Another fun collaboration with Makayla Colonello - this time with Steve Rossi - thanks guys!
Pour a Little Water
Gaia - Gaia - Gaia! So proud of what Gaia has done with this to bring it to life! A big voice - a big heart - proper talented!
Pour a little water – pour a little faith my way
