Too Much Noise

I like making videos. Lots of people do. I wander around new places and places where I’ve been before, taking little clips of things that might join together to make a story. I often use these clips as inspiration for writing songs. Writing about something I’ve noticed when I watch the clips back. A theme, a situation or a colour. It could be anything. Take my latest song for example. It’s…

I released my new single “White and Blue” on Bandcamp a few weeks ago. I wanted to make it available there first to give my followers and fans the first listen and to be able to download it if they wanted to. Sales and plays of the song are doing ok, but the message isn’t getting out much! I’ll be donating all the money I make from sales of “White and Blue” to help The Music Venue Trust fund…

Whilst performing at a songwriters club in Atherton, near Wigan, the artist received praise for his previous track "Yellow & Grey". He was later asked to rework the track for a community arts project. "White & Blue" is the result, based on the livery of the Northern Railway trains that run the line between Wigan and Salford. All profits from his new track will be donated to the Music Venue Trust, the organisation that supports grassroots music venues across the country.

2026: The Year of the Ageing Popstar I’ve been reading how 2026 is the right time for older musicians to “make it” in the music industry. It seems that record labels and promoters are looking elsewhere for the “Next Big Thing”. Either that or they’re becoming less inclined to focus on the “youth” element when they’re looking for new bands and artists to sign. Music consumers, gig-goers, and the…
