Wind and Waves - Currently In Production

Sometime around 2018 a handful of new songs suddenly appeared. I had recorded snippets of random memos on my phone, crackly chords grabbed here and there for a few years, but hadn’t felt anything concrete come together.

Over the next few years I rediscovered DADGAD and found myself in a whole new world of weird chords and right-hand picking ideas. The whole collection of tunes is back in DADGAD again, some very Celtic ideas, some of the melodic aire tunes more like the Night Fishing album.

In this period I have been playing the Laurie Williams Tui guitar which is coming up beautifully in the first single releases. The songs are being produced and engineered by Lee Buddle from Crank Recording in Perth, Western Australia. The very same Lee who produced my first 3 albums!

Iris - The First Single

We’ve put together a tablature and MP3 pack for the first release called Iris. It’s a pretty DADGAD tune, very accessible for the fingerpickers out there. The pack comes with the both tab and standard notation, a tab only version, performance notes and song background, and possibly a banana bread recipe. It’s a lovely little package available now at the online store.
