Far in the mist of time (late eighties and early nineties) I was writing, singing and recording songs with a few friends in London. Ed Dudley and Joolz Sparks were my main co creators, but also Fraser McLean and Kate Carrick. Joolz and I spent many hours creating songs on a 4 track recorder and keyboard.

Joolz and I performed I think only twice in the bar below my flat called The Purple Turtle in the Sunday afternoon singer/songwriters open session.

I did many recordings by myself, with a keyboards and my very limited skills. They have been hidden away for many years. When I was ill I had time to rediscover these recordings. I really enjoyed doing these. So began to put them online on Reverberation in 2017. And got a few positive comments. 

So far I have be able to put them into three sort of albums. They are a cross between folk, pop and rock.

So here are a few of the Essex Road recordings with my own images. Beware they are a lot more and we may start recording again!

The Queen Bess tapes are really a more folksy affair.
