Welcome to my website
Based in Chester, Cheshire, UK I am a songwriter who shares ideas and works together with songwriters, musicians, poets and artists across the UK. During 2019 I will be pitching songs and working with new artists and bands.
One of my main projects is called 'The Heart Athletes' and I am working with David Watson on new songs and a rock album due for release in 2019. Our first gig was on Valentine's Day 2018 @ The Saddle Inn, Chester.
On 24th June 2019 The Heart Athletes released their first video single ‘Salome’ on YouTube. The video is the official trailer for the Steven Berkoff’s production of the Oscar Wilde play ‘Salome’ using footage from the production and featuring the music of The Heart Athletes.
Later this year sees the release of a new video for the english version of the song called 'Key To My Heart', co-written with GP Hall and beautifully sung by Suvi.
At 7.00pm on Saturday 6th July 2019 I performed a full set of songs at The Piper, Pipers Lane, Hoole, Chester, CH2 3LS as part of Chester Live.
On Monday 7th January 2019 my song 'The Grace Of God' beautifully performed by Simon Schofield and The Sapphire Blue Choir was released as a digital charity single to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Sunday 27th January 2019. It is available on Amazon Music, iTunes, Play.com, Spotify and 32 other vendors. Full information here.
On Tuesday 1st May 2018 my song 'Chiave Del Mio Cuore' (Key To My Heart), co-written with GP Hall and magnificently performed by Marcello Dongu was released. Full information here.
On Monday 22nd August 2016 I released a new video for the song 'Never Forget'. Originally commissioned in the UK by the Greater Manchester branch of the charity SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Air-Force Association) the song has lead vocals by Simon Schofield and backed by the 'Sapphire Blue' choir.
A video for the song 'Resting In The Arms Of Angels' dedicated to the memory of Rachel Rogers was launched on Sunday 17th July 2016. The song was originally commissioned in the UK by the Greater Manchester branch of the charity SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors, Air-Force Association). This version is sung by Rosanna Rigby and the 'Sapphire Blue' choir.
My song 'The Agenda' was released in New York as a follow up to the track 'Soulshaker'. Recent songwriting collaborations include David Watson, GP Hall, John Every, Tommy Hunt, Paul Wightman, Phil Dennett and Tony Denmade.
