    Songs nobody asked me for. Episode 27: 'it takes a little faith

    So. Not my easiest subject of conversation, but it's time to talk faith baby. I share my early terrible experience of playing in a worship band and my later good experiences. And for me, the spirit talks to me more in music.... #musicthecurve #worship #vineyardmusic

    Songs nobody asked me for. Episode 26: Discourse with Rob C Force...

    Here we go, two guys setting the world to rights.... Great to spend time with Rob hearing about his musical journey, the Plymouth musicians co-operative, songwriting and surviving the music scene. Warning....we both like to chat :). Had a great time and hope you enjoy our chat. #robc #Genesis #musicthecurve

    Songs nobody asked me for. Episode 25: Minds like these...

    In this episode I share my experiences of the Plymouth musicians co-operative ahead of my upcoming interview with Rob C, and my wonderful experience of setting up a band within my role in mental health. Warm memories which reminds me of the power of music on our mental wellbeing and kept me feeling connected to music and creative when I lacked other contacts on the music scene..... #musicthecurve #mentalhealth #mind #pmc #robc

    Songs nobody asked me for. Episode 24: The Elvis Costello appreciation society...Pav interview take 2..

    My old music collaborator, Pav is back, and this time in the same room as me, so good sound and a warm chat :). We haven't lost our hedenistic 'life on the edge' rock and roll life style either, as we cram our chat into the 20 minutes we have while I'm roasting potatoes.

    Songs nobody asked me for. Episode 23: Is that a canoe in your ecosystem???

    Today I talk about my theory of why it's hard to be out playing original music in today's environment. We consider historical pressures (the amazing back catalogue available to covers bands, how the way we listen to music has changed,) and the horizontal eco system of original acts, covers bands and tribute acts. It might almost seem that I have some idea of what I'm talking about! #musicthecurve #ecosystems #originalmusic #songwriting

    Songs nobody asked me for. Episode 22: Chatting until our throats get horce...

    Today I sit down for a chat with my friend Shaun from Horce Divorse. We talk about dads, magic, playing good at awful gigs, playing awfully at good gigs, songwriting and saving the world with love :). I think Shaun is wonderful. Come and see why... #horcedivorse #musicthecurve #songwriting #originalmusic #guitars #tavistock

    Songs nobody asked me for. Episode 21: What a difference a gig makes....

    Well.... basically the realisation that I'm easily pleased. A good gig, an interested audience and promotion to league two..... #musicthecurve #gig #bbar #originalmusic #songwriting

    Songs nobody asked me for: And...a New Year special!! Not an Old Year ordinary...

    I figured that if I did a Christmas episode I should do a new year one. I'm left with dodgy time line memories, a journey through New Years past, and hopes for this year. Not a new year resolution in sight!! #newyear #musicthecurve #originalmusic #songwriting #plymouth
