My New Video Orchard, my original composition. Choreography and dance by Ilana Gilovich, filmed and edited by Dog Kennel Productions, audio mixed and mastered by John Dines
This Woman’s Work is an arrangement of Kate Bush’s song from her album Sensual World. I hope you like it!
I’ve always loved the song. The lyrics are fairly specific (it was written for a particular scene the movie She’s having a baby). Eessentially it takes the listener through the experience of being on edge of loosing something/someone and all the thoughts of regret that flood your mind. I was listening to it recently and could just ‘hear’ it on the guitar. The great thing about arranging music originally for piano is that it forces you to really think about chord voicings. Different chord inversions colour the music in unique ways and can make really subtle but impactful variation. The tendency for guitarists is to play chords in the most comfortable way, not the most musical – we can learn a lot from pianists.

Everywhere Sky Arts Guitar Star
This is my 1st round audition for the 1st Series Sky TV's Guitar Star 2015. It is my arrangement of Christine McVie's from Fleetwood Mac tune Everywhere. It was a great experience and proably why Huey from the Fun Loving Criminals Started to call me Mosquito man! I recorded a new version of this for the 1st track for my Departure EP
Rodrigo y Gabriella Mentoring Session
This video is taken from the acoustic round of Guitar Star, we had to learn a track from Rodrigo y Gabriella's new album. I chose Misty Moses, I slowed it down from the original and put my own stamp on it. Rodrigo liked my version told be they will have to learn my version to. Was such a thrill meeting such talented musicians! My version can be found on my 1st release
Slipstream - Live at Milbank Studios
This is one of my own competitions and a live favourite. I wrote this at a time I had been listening a lot to a South African singer called Johnny Clegg. A lot of the percussive fills are inspired by the percussionists on his records. The main influence though is Van Morrison. I love the way he takes a really simple idea and plays with it – it’s naïve and esoteric at the same time. The title comes from the opening lines of his song Astral Weeks – “If I ventured through the Slipstream, between the viaducts of your dream” . Tuning (DAEF#AE) It's Track 2 on my new EP Departure.
