   About Brian Williams
I was born and brought up in North Wales. I have been writing songs since I was in my teens. I hit upon a really productive phase in the 1990's when I was living near Aberystwyth, Wales, U.K. Most of the songs on the 'Wide Awake Day' album were written between 1990 and 1995. They first got an airing in venues local to Aberystwyth with a band called 'Hylas Corner'. Some of the original members of that band appear on the album. The songs have been recorded in a cottage close to Aberystwyth on a Roland VS890 digital recorder. The process has taken about 3 years, what with getting everyone to do their bit at weekends, changes to the playlist, mixing/mastering in a studio.

Thanks very much for the friendship. Your music is lovely. Great lyrics, I love take me down to the river and Strata Florida, great discription of the beautiful ruins there. Also, I think fear of love displays a beautiful combination of words, creating lovely imagery.
Cheers Bernadette

well done Brian,

your demo tape from over 10 years ago I still remember well. Your new CD sounds very good, and I enjoy it very much. Well done. I hope to have it reviewed soon.
