I really like a good closing track on an album. I like it when a band uses to the opportunity to use the last track, to end the album with a particular mood. Sometimes this is used to round off the contents of the album in epic style with a real show stopper song with… Continue Reading
Wow, nice! Hang on, what is mastering? This is the response that a lot of people say to me why I tell them that I am having my music mastered at the world famous Abbey Road Studios. Most people have heard of Abbey Road Studios. Mentioning immediately evokes images of countless bands and artists that have recorded their… Continue Reading
In Time is a song that I wrote almost by accident. Sometimes you can play a chord, a sound or a melody and song just sort of tumbles out. In the case of In Time, I was playing around with a a favourite instruments plugin of mine called Omnisphere by Spectrasonics. Recently Spectrasonics have released a… Continue Reading
I’ve Found You started off as a very simple and short song that I first wrote many years ago when I had a little 4-Track studio set up in my bedroom. Over the years as I have recorded different versions, it has grown into a much longer song with four distinct sections. Why not have… Continue Reading
We recently had a holiday at the lovely and beautiful Portmeirion Hotel in Wales. It is one of my favourite places in the world, quite unlike anywhere else that I have visited.

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
Well last week saw the release of my first single, Make It Better, which was very exciting indeed. But apart from that, it also saw the release of my first B-side, Gone. In these days of downloads and streaming, what the hell is a B-side anymore anyway? It obviously used to refer to what was… Continue Reading
I’m a very excited Stephen today, although I’m less excited now that I have referred to myself in the 3rd person. This is something I promise myself that I won’t do, isn’t it Stephen? Anyway, I’m very excited because today my first single, Make It Better has been release and is available for people to… 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
