SONGSMITH (AND OTHER STORIES) :

​

My brand new talk.

Featuring both self penned and well known songs, I will try and steer the audience through the challenging and sometimes funny world of song writing and performing.

With over fifty years of experience, there are some fascinating and amusing anecdotes revealing what it's like to stand in front of an audience and entertain.

A chance to laugh, cry, cringe and sing along!

LIFE IN THE MUSIC - THE FULL STORY:

​

A journey through life featuring self-penned comedy songs and ballads …plus a few well known numbers for members to join in.

I explain a bit about the instruments I have brought with me - which includes several guitars, ukulele and mandolin.

With lots of amusing chat and nostalgic anecdotes, this has become a very popular talk.

Again, ‘Under the Influence’ features an array of instruments,

I sing and play a selection of different musical pieces which have shaped my repertoire, playing and life….and explain why!!

Lots of well known songs by the The Beatles, Bob Dylan, John Denver (to name but a few) - plus a few of my own.
