A Travelling Man - Demo
A song about my late friend who loved travel but did it all from his armchair at home........

Sing A Song Of All Our Nations - Demo
I started writing this song about the madness of war years ago at the beginning of the Syrian war and finished it recently at the outbreak of the new war in Sudan - 2023

Grown Up And Gone - Demo
A song about a mother's feeling when her children fly the nest.....

Where Did It Go So Wrong? - Demo

Destiny - Demo
Demo of Spanish flavoured song - accompanied by my friend Jaime Cantera on Flamenco guitar

Here And Now
A sad song of unrequited love.......

Only You Know Who You Are - Demo
A song about a long past secret love affair........

Can't Touch The Sky
This song was #1 Song on Folk/Acoustic/Americana New Songs Chart for several months and 1st in all genres for some time. It remains my most popular tune and I love playing it live. The guitar picking for this song is inspired by an African drum rhythm which got stuck in my head and developed into this track.

Twice A Year
This song is about only seeing your father twice a year as a child - it's not really a sad song but people always think it is!

Before You Were Born
This is a crazy reggae song about taking LSD in the seventies - I'm not recommending it - quite the opposite but I don't regret it! You'll find this track on my album At The Healing Tree or individually on iTunes. Hope you like the video!

Shadow Puppets
As it's Halloween coming up I thought I'd move this weird and spooky song up my playlist. It is about the awful tricks your own mind plays at night to keep you awake! Hope you like the video Paddy and I made for the album launch!

Full Circle
I wrote this song after the Boxing Day Tsunami 2004. The more recent events in Japan brought all the memories back again. It's the title track of my first album. Here's a You Tube video of a recent live performance of the song.

Easy
This is one of my favourite songs to play live and is about the things we can do in dreams or when the soul is freed from the physical constraints of our bodies. Thanks to Paddy Uglow for the video - hope you enjoy!

Evermore
I wrote this simple love song about my lovely man. Hope you like the new video by Creative Media recorded in my house!

No Friend Of Mine
This is a song I wrote in 2008 about a very good of friend of mine who suddenly turned on me for reasons unknown. We've never reconciled and I still don't know why. Mastered version March 2013.

Through The Fingers Of Your Hand
This is a new recording of this song about losing your creative flow, feeling time is passing uselessly instead of creatively. A phase I went through when I tried living in the countryside. Mastered version.

People of This Earth
I wrote this song about peace and equality - sadly still relevant today in these times of racism, war and strife it seems the only way to counter war is for people to recognise their sameness rather than our difference and find peace in themselves.

Trust Me
This was one of my earliest songs which didn't get recorded on the first album. Hope you enjoy this new mix.

At The Healing Tree
I wrote this song after an amazing hopi ear candle session - it speaks of childhood memories, ghosts and Africa. It is the title track of my second album. I hope you enjoy it.

Rain, Rain It Poureth Down!
This song was inspired by a West African rhythm which is similar to a lot of folk music. The time signature is 7/8 but feels more like 12/8 as it's all in triplets! I wrote the lyrics in 2007 after terrible floods in the UK and devastating floods in Kenya. Although the tune seems happy, the message is serious.I was delighted that Jo May agreed to play the bodhran and spoons on this track with Paddy Uglow on the fiddle. It reached #1 in all genres here for several weeks! Mastered version.

Clear As A Dream
A dreamy song to chill to - about fond memories of love and friendships old and was #1 in genre (Ambient) for about six months in 2011!

Five Years Ago
This is my most bluesy track - about not letting go of a relationship you know should be over by now! Mastered version March 2013.

Haven't Known You Very Long
This song has suddenly gone up to #1 (Jan 2014) in genre after all this time! Nice one - thanks for listening everyone.

Strip It Down
This is a dance song recorded today with Paddy Uglows on keys and electronics and recording and me on guitar, vocals and composition.

Fiery Hoop
This song is about somehow overcoming your fear and just going for it!

Miniyambar
This is a recording of Moriba Kuyarteh on Kora with Chandra Moon on Flute at Sandele Ecolodge, Kartong, The Gambia.

Appollo (Kora and Flute)
Moriba on Kora in Gambia and me on flute in Bristol UK - the only way we can play together in the pandemic is online.

Over So Quick
A song about the speed life is whizzing past!!

Sit Here Dreaming
The cries of seagulls which I've tried to emulate in the instrumental break was what inspired me to write this tune.... did well in the blues chart here at IAC.

Endless Love
I wrote this song on a visit to Australia to see my spiritual teacher

Rocking Horse
A song of retribution by a woman on a man - a completely true story - I really did burn his rocking horse!

When It Ends
Trying to stay as friends after a relationship has finished. Enjoy Richard Bloom's great guitar solo in the instrumental break! This one was on the KIAC Hitline for several months and is now climbing the charts - Thanks!

Alifa Yaya
This is another track with Moriba Kuyateh on Kora (African harp) with his kora student Sean Gaskell. Plus Chandramoon on flute and Moussa Sylla on Bolon (African bass)and Chris Diallo on shaker.

Banali

I thought you might be interested in this - It's an improvisation based on a traditional Kora tune featuring Moriba Kuyarteh on Kora and Chandra Moon on flute. It was recorded in February 2016 in Gambia.

Chandra,
I have left a couple of messages for you - one here in PM on IMP and one on another web site where both you and I are members. My guess is you are so busy making beautiful music that checking for messages is not always high on your list of things to do each day.
In any event, I wanted to express my thanks and appreciation for your purchase of my song "What Difference Will It Make". Thank you very much.
All the best on your upcoming trip to Oz and for your valued contribution to the music scene here at IMP.
Neil
