Technical by trade, musical by training. In 2019 I took on a project to write a song a week for a year (see link)
I didn’t write as much in 2020 but completed Fawm with 15 songs including one very fun collaboration.
In 2021 i made a concept album. ‘The marriage trap’ 14 songs about the development, collapse, reconnection and ultimate end of a dis functional couple.
2022 I had time and leisure on my side so I did a road trip round the US drawing inspiration as I went - I bit off more than I could chew and ended up with 8 songs - http://www.letojog.uk The tunes are here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-896hqDsko6E7UjMCEKhiEeozpmVlGBB

2023 - it’s back to the concept album - in the past I’ve written things over a long span of time - so this year I’m going for 1 day. A day in the head of ‘ The empty, loveless life of the aging middle manager‘.
I’ll set it up in three parts separated by the three meals of the day.

My initial track listing is:

[breakfast]
Another day dawns
None of this was planned
Now they’re gone

[lunch]
The passion’s so hard to come by
Drinking again
In danger of having a fall
When did these kids get attitude
She blames you
I’m numb to the seasons
I need a thrill
Food is bad, I’d die without it

[dinner]
A moment of clarity
Retirement is just around the corner
Just stay positive
