New video “Lisbon’
‘Lisbon’ is the first song I’m releasing as part of my ‘12 Songs’ project where I’ll be releasing a new song and accompanying video at 12pm (midday) on the 12th of each month for the next 12 months. It isn’t in fact about the city of Lisbon, but was inspired…

In The Studio
Since lockdown started in Spain in March, I’ve been inspired by having lots of time at home and having access to a bass guitar for only the second time in my life and as a result I’ve written and recorded about 16 songs since. At one point, I was writing…

Playing The Bass
I borrowed a friend’s bass for a few days to maybe do some recording with it. And then lockdown happened. Fortunately for me, that means I’ve had it for the last two months where I’ve discovered the joys of playing it while simultaneously learning how to play it. Photo by freestocks on Unsplash
