Welcome

This website contains information on my compositions which have (so far) been collated into four albums of music and one showcase album. Some of the music is currently available for free download by clicking on the links on the right with some additional tracks available on myspace
Some is scheduled to be available soon on iTunes.
The music has been written and recorded at my own small home studio - and is not professionally produced! Therefore the music is classed as demo tracks and that is why much of it is free for personal download use only. Anyone wishing to cover or use the music (or images) commercially should contact me.
The images on the right are draft album covers for the five albums.
