Scaly Beast
This one lives up to it's name, doesn't it?
Siren Call
When I play this I hear the bagpipes of Steve Day and Trudi Bide. I still can't decide which kind of siren the title is about.

Here's to Barbara's Good Health
When my good friend Barbara Butler was poorly (and if I recall was unable to come to the Chippenham French folk music session) I felt like I wanted to write her a tune. Her is the result.
That Familiar Ache
This is a Mazurka called "That Familiar Ache". The title came from my nagging suspicion it might be a tune I'd heard before.

Happy New Year (Bourrée)
This is the first dance tune I wrote. It's called "Happy New Year".

This Is My Hypogeum
This is my first entry in my new blog for publishing my tunes, but it isn't my first tune. The tune title comes from something I realised when I visited the Hal Saflieni hypogeum in Malta. I realised that my tunes are the "place" I go when I want to remember people. It seemed like an appropriate tune for my first posting, but there will be more to come.
You can see me playing this at a French music session in San Francisco here.
