My good friend & talented producer has an exciting new album project & I'm thrilled to be roped in. We have recently been co-writing a song - it's the most excited I've been about a co-written song with him since Travelling Light which I love so much.
Jonathan Tarplee - notes from the road and studio.
Songs '..of grace and wit', The Musician. 'A voice and sentiment to lift you from slumber', Fatea Records. 'This will get in your head', BBC Introducing.

After the Morrow Moon
After the Morrow Moon just came out. It's available on Spotify & everywhere else, we'd really appreciate any playlist adds.
The song is a reminder (to myself, but it applies to all) not to put off the little, oh-so-easily taken for granted things that really make life worth living. I, indeed we - hope you like it, ❤️

It was never about a song
Today I had the delight of being a part of the book launch for "it was never about the Kingfisher", a poety book by my good friend & multiple award-winning poet Helen Kay, published by Dithering Chaps.
Helen had asked me to collaborate by writing and recording music for, by her own account, darkest poem in the collection "O Morpheus".
I was keen not to turn the poem into a song, but to keep the structure of this poem as it is, and instead use music to emotionally annotate, illustrate & illuminate this beautiful but disturbing poem.

Video update
December 9th 2024
We gathered at a favourite place Tom's Tap - the morning after a squally & damaging storm to record the "behind the scenes" shots for an upcoming video for a single, due for release in early 2025.
