3) The album and tracks can also be found on Spotify, Apple Music or many other services.
On the album I play - acoustic, electric, bass, nylon string and slide guitars; ukulele; keyboards and vocals.
Richard Moore added the Violin part go ‘Guilty’ and Erim Ahmet- engineered, mixed, mastered and added the live drum parts (www.erimahmet.co.uk). The art work was the work of Mark Smallcorn, and Neil Thorne supplied the photo on the back cover and Kate See ‘tree shot’.
‘Me Time’ was largely written and recorded in 2023 in my tiny shed studio in the suburbs. So many thanks to Erim Ahmet for all the technical assistance, playing live drums and good humour.
It’s my third solo album, the overs are available to stream on Apple Music, Spotify and others and are available as Cds, EMAIL ME and we can arrange getting a copy to you at a nominal cost.
My solo live show show will include songs from ‘Me Time’ plus other originals and a few selected covers in keeping with the themes. I like to put on an upbeat show and I like to involve the audience with a bit of humour and getting them singing (we all need a bit of escapism these days!).
