The sound of success, or when doves cry, or cash registers, or a historian bleating, or more accurately the very best I can do with the songs I have written and a wish to play them.

I write songs because they makes sense to me, because words and melodies make happy bedfellows, and because it means I can add to the great sea of songs which we all swim in.
I am 25, 5ft 11", slightly built, with possible French heritage and a love of the great outdoors. I live in London, riding about on a variety of soon-to-be stolen bicycles. I would like to make a living out of making music, but worry it might drive me mad. Or make me disconcertingly happy.
I have cut my teeth playing as a solo musician, and these days can sometimes be found hanging out on stage with The Lionels, a crack ensemble of musical cohorts. They bang and rattle things, pick, hum and strum, all at opportune moments.
Drop me a line, if you wish, with gig opportunities, recipe ideas, song recommendations or general ponderings.

"Low and Behold" awesome man, bout time you got something new up on here. I can't talk really though, still haven't quite got around to representing my musical world on myspace, most of it remains in my head.
Looking forward to catching up at the weekend dude.
