Band Website http://www.myspace.com/newsoulcompany
Band MembersSongs: Candle On The Table & Annie: Written & Played all by me I'm afraid.

Absinthe: New Soul Company; Ava Hegarty, vocals; Neil Card, Keys, Bass; Programming; Dave Young, Guitar, Programming; Me on Guitar. The song was written by the band. and was the result of an Absinthe fuelled writing session, recorded so we could remember it! It changed much by the time we performed it.

A Little More: Drive South: Sarah Wise, Vocals, Acoustic Guitar; John Ensor, Drums; Geoff Earp, Bass; Me on Guitar. Written by Sarah Wise

Bassline: Monkey Business; Dave Young, Guitar; Dee Kolade, Vocals; Paul Fothergill (Foda), Bass; Neil Card, Keyboards; Sarah Bentham, Drums; Me, Guitar. Recorded Live at Temple Hall. Written by the Band.

Boyfriend: Monkey Business; Dave Young, Guitar; Dee Kolade, Vocals; Paul Fothergill (Foda), Bass; Neil Card, Keyboards; Sarah Bentham, Drums; Me, Guitar. Written by the Band.

InfluencesI decided that this was too random, so heres a modification, firstly, my guitar influences, in order as I remember: Segovia; Steve Cropper; Michael Chapman; Bert Jansch; Jimi Hendrix; Jimmy Page; John Martyn; James Taylor; Steven Stills; Harvey Mandel; Carlos Santana; Elliott Randall; Larry Carlton; Robben Ford. Note the mix of acoustic & electric players, I have phases! This sort of adds up to my first guitar stint.

After an 18 year layoff, in which I gave up guitar; and to a large extent, music; I started playing again, I revisited some old heroes, then added a few new (some old) ones: Martin Taylor; Jeff Beck; Albert Lee; Ronnie Jordan; Nile Rogers; Scott Henderson; Steve Lukather,; Jennifer Batten. Still learning, still revisiting, still discovering new players to admire.

I suppose my writing has many influences, not all obvious in the songs I have posted. I would say that Becker & Fagan; John Martyn; Leonard Cohen & Steven Stills have been my main influences, obviously, dating back to when I was younger. My favourite band of all time has to be Steely Dan and if I could write like anyone it would be Walter & Donald.
