I only have a couple of video’s at the moment and video is really stretching it a little because they are my songs played to a photo slideshow. You can find them by searching for me on YouTube or going to my MySpace page.
Only Memories Survive was my first. Both [...]

I said I would tell you about some more sites that might be of interest to your songwriting career. Radioscope is really an industry website for broadcast radio in New Zealand. So why should you care about it?
If you recall in previous blogs, I said that the best way to get journalists to write about [...]

Another one of these is Love Music and given that I am all about sharing great information for songwriters and [...]
