Welcome

Hi, I’m John.  This site is a showcase for my songs as well as a few pages of hints and tips on home recording and songwriting.

The About page gives you some information about me.  The Songs link at the top of this page takes you to some of the songs I’ve written and recorded where, if you're interested, you can listen to them as well as read the lyrics and also some background notes to each song.  The Guides & Tips pages include information on how I go about writing and recording songs, together with tips I hope might be useful to other home recording and songwriting enthusiasts (there’s a lot of us out there!).

Young World

A nostalgic trip back to a more carefree time.  The hopes and dreams of that magical summer of 1967 faded but the music and art lived on.



A song about getting older and feeling increasingly alienated from the ever- changing world that you used to be actively a part of.

Check out my videos on YouTube HD or Vimeo via links on some of the song pages. Click the appropriate icon on each song page.  Vimeo videos default to HD, but in YouTube you may need to switch to 1080HD for best results.

All That I Need

A song I did a few years back, reworked and much improved (I believe!)
