Richard Thompson - my absolute guitar hero (even more than Slash).
John Renborne - seeing John play fingerstyle guitar is awe inspiring.
David Gray - a great singer who made a hit album in a bedroom.
Henry Purcell - I love things that are very old and very English.
John Keats - died thinking that he had been a failure as an artist.
Sounds Like
Two Lightsabers swishing in the Dagobar System where Lando Calrissian made a deal with The Empire. C3PO making dead-pan comments on the shoulders of Chewbaca as they escape to the Millenium Falcon. The moment when Darth Vader says "I am your father" is like Father Christmas doesn't exist anymore.
To put you all in the festive mood I put up 'Christmas Tree song'. I'll be keeping it up for for all you lovely people out there until January 6th (the twelve day of Christmas) when the decorations come down: enjoy.
'An English Summer' is the title of my second album which includes 'Tent Song', ' Big in Japan' & 'Timing'. It was mostly recorded at Zed One Studios in Camden over three days by Chris Monger using a portable digital multi-track recorder. The remaining songs were recorded solo acoustic live at my Mum & Dad's house whilst Chris completed his parts in Oxford.

The Dan Sandman Band were formed in 2008 to perform live and record an album. I am extreamly gratefull for the support we have had; music is a huge part of my life and something to be shared. Here's an old clip of our favoured finale song to give you an idea.
When I play solo acoustic guitar live the set usually includes one or two classical influenced instrumentals and a cover by a favorite songwriter. I like playing solo, it's always a good opportunity to have fun meeting new people.
My second album is set for release on December 19th 2009. I'm 26 now, still enjoying playing music and happy. My ambition is to play my songs at some enjoyable summer festivals this year.
