Since 2021 I’ve been contributing music to the Cardiff Bute Park light trail. This year producers “From the Fields” have expanded to put on another trail in Newcastle. I was very happy to write the music for the Newcastle trail including the finale piece “Aurora Rising”. I also wrote music for the Bute Park trail again. I made it to Cardiff to take some walkthrough videos but I unfortunately couldn’t make the Newcastle trail so I’ve put on the finale music from Newcastle onto this video. The best of both worlds!
I was very happy to have created, recorded and produced a new album for RSM. We managed to get several socially-distanced players together for a busy day at Rimshot Studios and below is a little video of the one of the tracks. Huge thanks are due to musicians Thomas Kemp, Lucia D’Avanzo-Lewis, Alice Cooper, Rob Yoemans, Matthew Sweet & Mike Austin. Also thanks to Mike Thorne and Josh Holland at Rimshot. The album should be out within the next month.
What a bizarre, strange and worrying time it’s been in the last few months for so many people! One way that schools and education establishments have ensured that there was some musical connection with separated students during lockdown was to produce virtual performances. I was very grateful to be asked to do several of these for a number establishments. Below is one of them for Kent Music as the finale of their Day and Night virtual festival. It’s a version of the late, great Bill Withers’ “Lovely Day” and featured 80 students and teaching of all ages. Please take a look and share if you can.
I was very happy to be asked to provide the piano part for Scouting for Girls’ Christmas single, “Let’s Not Go Away”. Accompanying the song’s release is an amazing animation by the incredible Blue Zoo.

It’s been quite a busy year so far with library releases. I’ve written one or two complete albums and contributed to a great many others. These were for companies such as DeWolfe, Reliable Source, Addictive Tracks and Evolution Media Music
