Under The Glitter Ball is a live recording of myself and drummer Ian Roberts. I wrote this song in 2009.
Four-handed Boogie is a short improvised piano boogie for four hands - all of them mine.
Rainbow Over Michigan was written in 1974 and was inspired by my time on tour with Mott The Hoople the previous year. This rough demo was recorded in 2001.
Slow Train Shuffle was originally recorded as a live piano-vocal track in 2001. I added extra tracks in 2009.
Me And My Old Piano was written in the early 1990s and won me a finalist position in the 2008 UK Songwriting Contest.
Rockovski comes with apologies to several classical composers. I've been playing it to all kinds of audiences for over 20 years. It's never exactly the same twice, so hopefully this performance captures its spontaneity as well as one or two imperfections.
The White Cliffs Of England was written in 2005 after a walk on the cliff tops of the south coast of England
