Favorite Lyric:

I'm gonna blow this damn candle out
I don't want nobody comin' over to my table
I got nothing to talk to anybody about
All good dreamers pass this way some day
Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes dark cafes
--------
This lyric is from Joni Mitchell's The Last Time I Saw Richard (Blue). I love the way she delivered these particular lines, they do not scan to the rhythm yet she makes them sound natural.

Day Job:
Woodwork teacher

Working With Others

How I Work:

1.Give me some lyrics, I'll put them to music.

2. The more precise the constraints the better I like it.

3. I like the challenge of composing original music for theatre.

* Shindig: Traditional celidh band, bass guitar.
* Paddyrasta: Bass guitar, Celtic-Reggae. (paddyrasta.com)
* The Shoestring Theatre Co, Oxford, Live music for theatre - Touring TIE group, taking Classical Greek plays and company divised plays to schools and 6th form colleges around the UK.
• Pangur: Traditional Folksong Duo, based in Oxford, UK
• Sensible Shoes: Folk duo singing in Pubs & Clubs around Oxfordshire.

Composition:
Dance and song accompaniments, and incidental music for
* Classical Greek Tragedy
* Shakespeare
* Medaeval Mystery plays
* Folk songs
* poems into songs

Equipment:

Enough to do a professional job. Enough said.

Will supply a list if it helps you to work with me.
