Thank you to Geoff and Beth Parks, Clive Hewes and Tammy x

Despite having played hundreds (possibly thousands) of solo acoustic gigs for the last 24 years or so on Saturday 13th October 2018 I did something I’d never done before: I played two sets consisting of just my own material (or songs I’d co-written). It was a first. And I loved doing it. 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 and ‘off the top of my head’ introduction. It’s all here. Live and unedited. As it happened. 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 the back of the room on a camcorder so I used a tiny bit of it’s audio feed and combined the two recordings to make what you hear on this album. It’s not perfect but it sort of works... I think… :)

Thank you to all those that were there and to all those that take the time to download this live album and listen to it. I hope I get chance to perform another house concert at some point and again play all my own (or co-written) tunes. But until then I’ll always remember this… My first time and the night I felt like a songwriter…

M :)
