LOADS OF OTHER NEW MEDIA ADDED (Nov/Dec 2011) - SEE TABLE OF SONGS BELOW

From "Serf" to "Sovereign"

The Road to Redemption: Songs of Romance, Realisation, Remedy & Rebellion

ALSO: DON'T MISS THE "REVELRY" SONGS BELOW

Before I was free I used to write a lot of songs about love and romance. Looking back I guess a lot were written as a kind of escapism because I wasn't really happy with the way my life was within "the system"... I call these my "Romance" songs

Later, as I began to awake spiritually, I started to realise the way the world really is and how my life really was, and didn't like a lot of what I found! But my awakening and subsequent research gave me a lot of great subject matter to write about. I call these my "Realisation" songs

Then, as my life began to change dramatically, I became more and more free, happy and content so I began to write songs about what I was feeling and how I was living my new life... I call these my "Remedy" songs

I'm currently (2011) performing some of the songs below at 'Freeman' gigs. The songs are roughly in the order they were written between 1991 and 2011.I'm in the process of uploading material and adding links to each song title so you can explore my music, so please keep poppin back to see what's been added. Hope you like the tunes...

And to provide some Yin Yang balance (I'm a Gemini!) to all this deep philosophical soul searching muso stuff...

Some tongue in cheek musical humour!

(These were recorded live at jam sessions in 2008 with 'The SubTles' - Cliff : Coates on Bass, Dirk : Forsdyke on Drums)

The rest of these will be added soon (last update 4th December 2011)

All the live videos on these pages were filmed by Michel Griffin at Carre D'Art, Cahors on Fri 8th April 2011

'Thanks, To You'

A big 'thank you for the music' to Cliff : Coates.

When I met Cliff in 1990 I had written about two and a half songs... He had written about 10! Together we wrote hundreds of tunes, some of which are included here (*© Halco Music)

He was the Lennon to my McCartney and the McCartney to my Lennon... but we won't talk about politics!!

And big thanks to Hynesie for footie, fun and philosophy, as well as about 8 or 9 years of musical collaboration and of course for being an all round top bloke and bosom buddy

A special thanks to Erbish (Dirk : Forsdyke) for all his superb 'matery', drumming & percussion work. Unless it says otherwise, any drums you 'hear here' are by him!

(Dirk can add drum tracks to your own original music - see 'Dirk The Drummer' for details)

Thanks to Scotty for being '...the nicest man in the world..." (Hynesie) and for sharing music, footie, tea and brewers golds!

And more big thanks to Hynesie, Scotty, Erbish and Al for the 'Tuscan Raiders' versions of some of the songs

Thanks also to Weed for everything, especially being my point man

And to Maggie for all the magic puddings!
