cancer fundraising
Some really exciting news today and I am bursting with excitement! My Fields of Dawn fundraising track from last year, On The Way Back, is going to be played on BBC National Radio. Every Saturday night Richard Latto hosts Stereo Underground between 6.00 and 8.00 and it is broadcast around the world on BBC Sounds.
The music equipment was finally fired up in anger today after a couple of months taking a break from it. A couple of days ago I came up with the idea of recording some music under the Fields of Dawn banner to help promote Gift-A-Bear. The lyrics formed in my head and the melody pretty
Such a cold cold morning in the freezing fog. My Saturdays and Sundays always begin at the dog field it’s such a great way to kick off the day. Today was one of the rare occasions when I didn’t enjoy it purely because of it being absolutely freeing and I just could get warm. I
It’s always a good day when new music arrives, especially when it involves my favourite band, The Alarm. This new track came out as a free CD for purchases on the band’s website over a certain value, and also as a white 7″ vinyl for people who bought tickets for their annual Gathering event in

One of the most relevant lyrics that I have written for my music is It’s a brand new year that comes from, On The Way Back, a song I wrote last year. At the time I wasn’t aware of just how much that song would apply and mean to me in 2022. I am carrying
It’s been a quiet Sunday. It had the perfect start at the dog field first thing. On the cold side, but amazing sunshine. It’s interesting because at work I prefer the weather to be wet and mild, probably because the unit is colder on sunny crispy days. Weekends just give me some sunshine! Once again
Today from nowhere really I suddenly got to thinking about perhaps doing another cancer fundraising book. It’s been three years since my previous book The Record was published, and I have not really had any thoughts about doing another one. The last one had taken me the best part of three years to put together
