The good people at Music Corner Shop & CETA Radio recently chatted to me about new album Cadenza, my influences, growing up in Wales and lots of other stuff. A full hour of chat & music old and new.
Check it out – HERE
Hope you enjoy some new songs from Cadenza, older songs of mine plus a few of my favourite choices.
Well it’s mid-Feb already, Cadenza has been doing really well, I can’t tell you how chuffed I am with the response. When I started recording last summer I only intended to do an acoustic EP, but I guess I knew deep down that I had too many songs, so I thought what the hell….let’s do an acoustic album. I had been listening to a lot of acoustic stuff around that time…especially Nick Drake, Gillian Welch….Graham Coxon’s Spinning Top album….& also Damon Albarn’s The Good, The Bad & The Queen album, and though you cannot hear it I’m sure they influenced my writing around that time.
Writing can be a curse sometimes, but also cathartic…..so I’ve been writing again (actually I’m always writing!), and have reverted back to the electric guitar and the piano. I’m already excited about the way the new tunes are shaping up….hopefully I can unleash one or two on you at gigs this summer.
Here is another lovely review of Cadenza by a great site called Mojophenia. Check it out here

Cadenza has now been available for 5 days, & I’m bowled over by the response to it. Thank you for all the positive feedback, I can’t tell how how much it means to me.
I guess heartfelt lyrics & melodies are not dead yet, especially in Japan, where it seems to be going down extremely well.
We’re hoping to bring you a new video shortly….in the meantime enjoy Cadenza and I’ll catch you soon.
