"Horse Running Backwards has got me spinning - is it like the wheel on a car that is going so fast that the hubcap appears to be going in reverse - like a submersion tank -I am losing all sense of time and space - disorientated - but in a fascinating way - like watching someone operate on me and not feel a thing - and yet colours overload and excite and stimulate - drawn inside the detail - outside in.
Yeah, it's like an acid trip !!!!!" - Steve Kelly
" ... Delicious waves of spacey guitar, putting me in mind of Durruti Column. He tops it off with one of the loudest voices I have heard! I practically had to take the mic out of the mix! It's a mix of folksy vocals and psychedelic guitar but strangely it works perfectly!" - Steve Chapman Smith, of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry/Ghost Dance/Riprize/The Troubadors

Hi Richard! Thanks so much for the note. Yes, I have lots of plans to do various things including gigs with my teacher, (he's a professional musician with a band) but at this stage I'm still training my voice up and building a repertoire :)
