Welcome
My songs and poems mix fun with ‘serious’
social comment, intended to provide
thought-provoking entertainment. This
website includes audio clips of my songs
and lyric texts, as well as a couple of
poems to give you an idea of my work.
I have also written three full-length
musicals with strong Yorkshire themes.
The community musical Saltairy Tales
2005 and its update in 2006 were a
central feature of Saltaire Festival.
My first musical entitled Bells won
an award from Yorkshire Playwrights
(now renamed Script Yorkshire).
It was re-written for performances
in 2008 at Saltaire Festival, in Haworth
and at Ilkley Literature Festival.
I appear at various private and public
functions. News page tells more...
and I have done a lot of work
for local radio.
All my CD's and books are now purchasable via the
