Thanks is you’ve checked out my website. 2016 so far has been a productive year. With my song ‘Lullaby’ available to download, it showcases the style and evolution of 15 years of writing and singing. More songs will be released from my also titled album ‘Lullaby’over the coming year.

Many projects are in the pipeline , first I’ve been exploring traditional folk songs and have been rehearsing 12, ranging from copper family songs, such as birds in spring and welsh folk songs, plus interpretations of folk classics, such as blackwaterside.

Secondly I ve been delving into my archive of songs ranging from 2001 to the present, archive 1 will include 12 songs from my first ever song can we live together to lost gems such as faith . It will be called “Recycled and rearranged’ as I’ve updated them and touched on their overall feel. They haven’t lost there message or original signature, but will be rerecorded for a future release.

Thanks for reading folks. Peace and love. xx

I’ve been a member of greenpeace for many years and must thank them for keeping me updated on the environmental troubles in the world. I chat to many people, particularly about global warming and can’t believe how many people are in denial. If its not affecting them directly they just deny the truth and facts produced each year by charities such as greenpeace.

Astrology has roots in early cultures all over the world, such as stonehenge in the british isles, which dates back to 3000bc , some believed it was used to predict the eclipses of the sun and moon, events which have great astrological significance today. Other ancient monuments had a similar purpose around the world, particularly in China, India, Japan and the united states.

• Swallows and swifts
• circle in the summer sky
• butterflies open their wings
• and fly, so high
• the sun looks down
• as shadows fall outside
• the moon awaits
• for the thoughts inside
• round and round the circle goes
• the green trees are alive
• nature has no religon
• for the bees always find their hive
• since the creation of life
• the invisible delusion of time
• a big bang erupts
• making a mistake in humankind
• no blame on nature
• for the summer is their time
• man made wars
• a conscious war inside
• summer, summer let it breathe today
• for the cycle is here to stay
• whatever we do, whatever we say
• it evaporates in time
• in this game we play
• let the sun shine
• 93 million miles away
• part of a galaxy
• a universe miles away
• summer sun
• no need to worship today
• summer sun
• thankyou today

Archaeologists and scientists have never been able to explain the dramatic evolutionary and technological leap made by homo sapiens 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. Theres no genetic clues about the doubling of the human brain, there’s more missing links than real explanations of our evolution. The nazca lines in the peruvian desert cover an area 37 miles long and one mile wide. Patterns of birds, spiders and fish can be seen from the air. Scientists dismiss them as ancient worship objects, but maybe they are, no one knows, its an on going mystery. In the sahara lives a tribe called the dogon and they worship fish like amphibians which they insist they came from the sky and are called the nommos.

They told the dogon they came from a star called sirius. The dogons weren’t the only people visited from above, during pre-history the sumerians called there gods the oannes, which were also amphibians, a certain theme appearing here! They brought the secrets of mathematics, writng and astronomy to the people of mesopotamia, acknowledged as the birthplace of civilization.The oannes god was part man, part fish and they also had a connection with the star sirius. Stories from ancient times and some people even believe the bible account stories of visitors from space, how were the pyramids built, who built the stone statues on easter island the list goes on. I’m not saying these people were not capable of buliding these monuments, but why are ancient stories , such as the epic of gilgamesh and decoded ancient tablets describing visitors from above and all appear fish like in appearance.

It’s easy to deny the extensive research into this, some would say conspiracy, but if its part of our history why are we not taught this in school, it’s part of our genetic makeup. Darwin’s tree of life show we evolved from the sea, so would have been fish like in appearance many, many years ago, whether an alien race intervened is open to debate. But again and again ancient cultures repeat the mantra of fish/serpent gods ruling over the masses, from the mayans , to egypt, to the indus valley, theres a missing link which has never been explained. Did they come from sirius to educate us or enslave us, the anwsers are around us right now, make up your own mind.

Pearl Jam have been a big influence throughout my life, on my music and constantly a companion through tough times. So when they announced shows at manchester earlier in the year I couldn’t believe it and was grateful when they added a second show , as the first sold out in hours. We travelled from north wales to get to manchester and arrived at about 6pm. We were in time to see the support band , X , which were a very tight and very loud punk band. Then the lights went down and piano music circled the arena , pearl jam entered the arena and went straight into Go, the crowd singing along and releasing the emotion into the air. I felt tears rise as they led into Animal and one of my favourite tracks,Hail, Hail, with the encompassing lines, ‘hail, hail, the lucky ones,I refer to those in love’.

Just like to wish everyone a happy christmas and a happy new year and thanks for checking out my music and website. It’s been a tough year for me personally with my mums struggle with cancer but life goes on, I wish for more happy memories. Also I give a thought to all the homeless people this xmas and all the refugees across Syria and worldwide. It’s a sad planet but theres always some hope, all we can do is share and leave a healthy planet for future generations. In the new year on 6th January I will be releasing a new track called memories, until then stay safe and enjoy life . Peace.

I’ve been busy selecting songs to record later this year and hopefully will be a strong album. Similar in stlye to previous recordings, it will tackle themes such as identity and isolation. And also the feeling of being dis- connected from these modern times. It will consist of 12 songs, with titles such as echo, move along and perception.

I’ve just finished recording my ep, Top Secret and the tracks will be released early next year. Also practicing songs for my fith album,13, which will be recorded in early 2013. Also in the process of writing a book about my life and my struggle with mental illness, hopely removing the stigma attached to it. Will probably be a short story, but will encompass the theories circling through my head, which comes through in some of my songs.
