Close My Eyes is a song about one of my favourite things in the world, the moment when you start to drift off to sleep. Why not have a listen to it here: Close My Eyes actually started life as two different sections of a song, one in 6/8 time and one in 4/4. The verse… Continue Reading
On the September 20th 2010 my second single Tonight will be released. To celebrate this I thought that I should tell you a little bit about the song and how it was recorded. Firstly here it is, why not have a listen to it? (Or buy it if you’re feeling generous): Tonight is actually a fairly… Continue Reading
I received something very nice in the post the other day. For the past couple of years I have been working with my uncle Joe Dooley on an album of his songs. They are performed by just Joe with his guitars and produced and mixed by me. Joe had written a number of story songs… Continue Reading

Last week we had a week off on holiday to have a bit of a rest and I thought that this would be an ideal time to get stuck into some studio time. Firstly I thought that I would take a look at trying to repair my old harmonium. I bought it for a bit… Continue Reading
As I wrote about in my last blog, I was recently invited on to BBC Radio Berkshire’s The Session radio show. This all came about because I uploaded some of my music on to the BBC Introducing website via their Uploader. The way it works is that after you have uploaded some music it gets… Continue Reading
I think have spent the majority of this weekend thinking about calibration, dpi, fonts, smudges and ink runs. I’m sure that this is how the majority of post modern 21st Century people spend their weekends, but it’s not usually my cup of tea. However, it has all been worth it as I have now actually… Continue Reading
