about

Despite having played hundreds (possibly thousands) of solo acoustic gigs for the last 25 years or so on Sunday 18th August 2019 I did something I’d only ever done once before: I played two sets consisting of just my own material (or songs I’d co-written). And I loved doing it. It made me feel like a songwriter. It gave me chance to talk about the meanings behind some of the songs and to perform them in front of a small, but very appreciative, audience and allowed me to bare my soul a little more. And have a laugh. 

So this live recording contains it all. Every song and every moment. Every mistake, flat note, duff guitar playing, dodgy singing, fluffed lyric (there’s a few of those) and ‘off the top of my head’ introduction. It’s all here. Live and unedited. As it happened. Warts and all. For better or for worse. 

I recorded the gig through my desk and straight into Cubase 5 on my laptop. I also recorded the night from ‘out front’ with my digital audio recorder and combined the two recordings to make what you hear on this album. It’s not perfect but it sort of works... I think… :) 

Thanks to all those that came along on the night, those that watched the facebook ‘live stream’ my partner Tam made during the performance, to Rosie & Steve for putting on the show in their beautiful home in the first place and to all of YOU that have downloaded the album

M :)
