This is my “older” album*. It’s about having a lifetime of memories and how differently life is perceived as you get older.

A reference to George Michael’s more mature and serious album “Older“.

Delhicatescence

An Indian flavoured piece on insecurity and the comfort of knowing that someone cares.

Home Free

About a man coming to terms with his situation.

Money

I was eleven when I bought my first long playing record “With the Beatles”. John Lennon singing “Money” set the benchmark for what a rock and roll singer should be. I have always wanted to do a cover of this song, but was never able to do justice to it until I found a new context. This is a new [piss] take with an important gender bias correction and also features my grandson.

Opus 7645231

What young people seem to be doing these days: a drum and bass exercise. Alien abduction? Time travel? Magic mushrooms? Don’t ask, I don’t remember a thing!

Sundays

A lazy Sunday afternoon walk though the park and home across a main road. Inspired by Rowntrees Park, York. Also available as the still video.

The Restless Mind

A turbulent soul at odds with itself: always on the go and looking for the next thrill but still seeking solace and peace of mind wherever it can be found.

Frère Jacques and the Three Blind Mice

A playful blend of two nursery rhymes guaranteed to bring back childhood memories.

Thirteen Eight from Siliguri Junction

Another Indian influenced piece, evoking the experience of travelling across its vast landscape by train, with a cameo appearance by Ravi Shankar.

Tesselations

This fast-paced and hypnotic piece is based on a piano composition by Suzie Shrubb.

Reggae Dream

A soulful piece reflecting on past relationships.

Steady As She Goes

This nautical theme is an attempt to make light of my lifelong vulnerability to sea-sickness and how music can be the antidote.

French Connection

Sinister goings on in the dead of night. What’s happening? I don’t know, but it doesn’t sound good.

This album is a work in progress; some tracks are not ready for publication yet. See What’s New for latest on these.
