Pembrokeshire Fair (Live)

When my twin daughters set out to find fame and fortune, and take on crippling debts
through the medium of student loans, in dawned on me that life would never be the
same again. Some of our happiest days as a family were spent in Pembrokeshire, and this song traces those years. It was featured on Acoustic Magazines Cover CD in May 2016, and there is a video of our memorable holidays on the Gallery page.

A new studio recording of the song is included on my forthcoming mini album Too Soon It’s Time To Fly. For details see the MW Store page.

Thanks to Downend Folk Club for the footage, recorded Friday 15th March 2019

Gather I Must (Live)

Film rights are currently available for my book 'Claws' and should it ever make it beyond the shores of my imagination and on to a widescreen, this 2013 composition will be Andrew's song.
It all makes sense if you are one of the 612  people who have bought a copy of the book!

From Here To Africa (Live)

A song about loss which took a few years to write. It started out around 1983 and eventually fell into place over twenty years later. when I had gained a bit more experience about life and death.
One of my most popular songs at gigs, which was released as a single in August 2016.  A newer recording from 2019 is included as a bonus track on the CD 'A Moment In Time.'

In Shadowlands (Live)

A new song  from November 2013. The lyric is set to an older tune of mine which I've given a 
completely different feel and sentiment.  A mythical tale of a man returning to the town where he grew up and discovering the neighbourhood is no longer as he remembered.

Life & Times (Live)

This song was written many years ago, when I was reflecting upon my years at Cheltenham Grammar School. Were they really the best days of  my life?  Social media has enabled me to rekindle old friendships, and also to discover that some of my old pals are no longer with us.
I revisted the lyrics in 2015, and the song is included on 'The Others' CD.

Hey Friend (Live)

A rights of passage song, about getting through those difficult teen years and that pivotal point in life when college or new jobs enforce a parting of ways. Friends try to keep in touch, but move on. Nothing quite seems the same any more, but that's not always a bad thing.
