Come say hi.... and let's hope this network doesn't get tarnished by some or other Billionaire down the line... le sigh...

I don’t wear much any jewellery. But this shell has been with me for a long, long time. Good ol’ mumsy has helped me rethread it on some thin leather so I can wear it once again.

Projects are good. Something to keep me calm :-)

The Channel 4 TV Show "It's a Sin" has been reminding us/teaching many of us about the horrific early days of AIDS in the UK. This show has rightly got many people talking. 

The title is named after the 1987 Pet Shop Boys song. It was always a favourite of mine. Dramatic yet poignant. I covered the track on my second album, in my own style of course. 

Watch the show, if you have access to it on streaming. And no spoilers, please... I am only half way done!

Hey people

I have been very quiet on social media this year. I have stepped back in these “strange times” to focus on my family; my music; myself... I should hopefully be around more going forward!

We are back in lockdown in England. The strangeness continues.

In lighter news, the wildlife around my studio has become awfully friendly, as you can see. I hope Mr Robin liked the song I was working on!

Stay safe everyone

All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.

Undoubtedly her peak as an artist. Such a great production and set of songs :-)

My friend, o lawdy, Went to take care of her own body, And she got shot down in the road She looked up before she went, Said, "This isn't really what I meant" And the daily news said, "Two with one stone"

‪Finally - artwork thumbnails in Spotify playlists! Thank you!!!!‬

‪I like Spotify a lot, but it needs to put the artwork from albums forward more. So many clinical lists....‬

‪Artwork is vital!!‬

‪Thumbnails in playlists is a great step forward :-)‬
