The 7th song

It's done and over there on the left. It's a couple of days late but hey, these things take time.

This month is something a bit different - I've done a cover of the song 'Animal' by Miike Snow. I'm actually working on a full covers EP for later in the year, so I hope you enjoy this little taster of what's to come.

Thanks to Bec & Jac Richardson for singing backing vox.

And ta for listening.

The 6th Song

Hope you're all well and staying warm. The 6th song in my 'free-song-a-month' project is complete (better late than never!). It's called 'With Ease'. By now you may know the drill - if you're on my mailing list already, it'll be in your inbox. If not, sign up over there on the left to get the track.

Been playing this one live for a while now and I'm really happy with this recording of it, but I'll let you be the judge. You might think it's horrendous!

Special thanks to my brother Lloyd for playing bass on it, and Nic Cogels for singing backing vox and adding piano.

Cheers for listening.

The 5th Song

It's the last Sunday in May, which means the fifth track in my self-imposed 'free-song-a-month' project is due. It'll be in your inbox if you're on my mailing list. If not, enter your email address over there on the left to get it.

I cut it really fine this month! This song didn't exist at all yesterday. It was entirely written, recorded and mixed today. Nearly drove me mad getting it done in time.

I've based it around a guitar idea that's been kicking around in my head for the past couple of years.

Thanks for listening,
Ed
