January 30th 1997 changed my life forever...
I have never quite come to terms with adam's early departure from this world, my best friend and cousin for 24 years. Having lived together for many years, gone to school together and packed a lifetime in the time we had, we were more like brothers...
Almost 14 years have passed and only now am I truly starting to be able to listen to the songs I was writing and performing at that time with my old friend and extremely talented musical partner for 8 years, John Gildersleeve. Not only did I lose Adam, I feel I also lost john and many other good friends too. Whilst unable to concentrate nor stomach performing live at that time, understandably others needed to move on with their lives and so the band 'Touch' sadly disbanded in which to this day i deeply regret. I guess i just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone that supported me/us over the years, followed us from gig to gig and from my heart I apologise to those I let down. i wish each and every one of you well.
Life was great fun, exciting and although we worked hard as a band, we never quite fulfilled our dreams of being acknowledged worldwide for our musical ability, we did have so many laughs and i have fabulous memories. thank you. I miss those days. For now, I am starting to write again and share many laughs and dreams for the future with my wife Rachel and son Noah. I continue to enjoy performing and entertaining at corporate functions, weddings and private functions.
So, 14 years on, I want to share some of the original songs recorded almost 18 years ago as far back as 1992 when I was 21 and starry eyed. Some of the songs may sound a little dated now and technology has come on a long way since but i do hope you enjoy a bit of my nostalgia... Thank you for listening
