- 25.01.2018. It seems ages since I updated my web-site. It is not because nothing has happened. I have been extremely busy. I have now written over 1000 songs in a wide range of genres. I also sing at open mic nights. I am having my musical 'Glyndwr' orchestrated for an 8-piece band and am hoping to get an amateur drama group to stage it
- 25.01.2018. My musical 'The Mabinogion' covers the whole of the 11 tales. It would be a very long show to perform the whole lot in one go as it would last four or five hours. However a company or school could stage perhaps just one or two tales at a time.
