It's been quite some time since I took the keyboard out of mothballs and plugged that sucker into the laptop. This is just a quick note to the universe to say that I'm going to be releasing an updated 'redux'…

After much deliberation around the final mixes I have settled on the track listing and soon Doesn't Play Well With Others will be inflicted on an unsuspecting world. It is without doubt my best album to date. It kicks ass…

Track list has been picked and final mixes going through quality control (Amanda). They may change again, who knows! It's been a journey but I'm very happy with the new songs. There's a few I didn't include which I'll probably…

About 2 months ago I was relatively confident that I'd have the new record out lickety spit. Not to be. Real life events kinda took over. Then there's been a heavy work cycle for the past 2 months so music…

I was born in Warrington, at the time it was part of Lancashire eventually moving borders to become part of Cheshire in the late '70's. On the banks of the Mersey Warrington is 20 miles east of Liverpool and 20…

One of the first conversations I ever had with Amanda was about books and when we kind of touched on music (and I got my Bruce/Bowie/Beatles worship credentials out of the way, she was very patient) we found a reasonably…

It was around summer of 2000 and I was in Glasgow on business for Microsoft (doing a supplier audit on Danka). After my business had been concluded I had arrived back at Prestwick Airport to get my flight home. I…

If 2016 hadn't been bad enough up until then, on my birthday in May I discovered that a friend of mine had passed away. The great English gentleman, Stuart Eccles esquire. In my low humour at that time post Bowie…

Whatcha looking for here? Go to the Music page. Didn't you read the title? Seriously. Do I have to everything for ya?...c'mon now!

It's April and I've just been able to finish off a blog note I started in January about Bowie, but now, again, I find myself back in front of a screen trying to put some sense into the world that…

When I was 10 I bought my first album. It was 'Hunky Dory' by David Bowie. This was typical of a mindset, which has endured, in that I stubbornly rarely ever conform to any general consensus, but particularly when it…

...current bedside reading list and most recent musical purchases (presents)...

Books

• Ride a White Swan (The Lives and Death of Marc Bolan) - Lesley Ann Jones
• Reckless - Chrissie Hynde
• A Different Road - Bob Latchford
• Travelling to Work;The Diaries…

The last of da brudders, Tommy Ramone has exited stage left. Having lost Joey and Johnny to the big c, and Dee Dee to his own nefarious devices and almost wilful descent to oblivion, all sadly very prematurely, Tommy…

I am filled with sadness at the passing of Lou Reed. When I was a teenager I had probably four true musical loves - Bowie, The Beatles, Marc Bolan and Lou Reed. The first Reed album I bought was (like…

CLEM BURKE - I've been lucky enough to see Clem play in the Eurythmics tour band plus of course in his main claim to fame, Blondie. The guy is an exceptional drummer.

If you're looking for a brushes and light…

New album is coming on really well. Have too many songs (again) and I'm preparing some of my song stash for the next (next) album which at the moment is called "Onion".

Spent a lot of time this weekend mixing…

Blog Thing....

- Last week I wrote what *I* think is a really good song. It's called "Green, Blue, Red". Wowsa (modestly). Wrote the tune this day last week after dropping my kids home. Listening to Pink Floyd The Wall…

I was a musical kid of the late 60's and early 70's. It's hard to describe how much impact music has had on my life. When I was 10 I joined the David Cassidy Fan Club. Yes, sadly you read…

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year for 2013

Coming April 2013 - "..As The Sunflower Turns It's Face To The Sun" - the *new* album from Chris Carry

It's really difficult to define who is a "great" singer and who isn't. A lot of what we like is very much a personal choice that reflects either our perception of the artist or the vocal styling that they use…

A day for football, roast pork, hurricanes and Halloween taxi. My old beach neighbourhood of Belle Harbour in NY being evacuated. Things looking dodgy. New Jersey shore also under the weather wielded cosh.

Saturday was work on new song "Tower…

...haven't had much time for creativity recently with work and all...but..managed to scribble down some new chords and words over the last couple of weeks when I should have been sleeping..."Odd Socks", "Going For A Ride", "The Girl On His…

...spent most of the day doing mixes for a very talented young Kells man, more on that again soon...
