So five years ago, my wife Ann asked me for a divorce. I kind of knew it was coming. We were married in our early twenties, and even though we made it twenty […]

Twin Towers

“June? Did you get Gerald’s email?” “Yes, May. I’m reading the attachment now.” June and I are twins. born either side of midnight on 31 May, hence our names. We live in a Victorian large house built in Strawberry Hill Gothic inside the remains of a small Roman fort on an estuary in East Anglia.

Ten Years Later

From tomorrow I cast my musical net on the other side of the lifeboat and hopefully catch some much-needed inspiration to rejuvenate this seasoned singer songwriter. Now that folk is in Vogue it is time to raise the anchor and move on up mainstream.
