Album Title: The Haunted Tearoom

Release Year: 2008

Record Label: Otterbourne Digital Media

I am still working on this album but here are five tracks that I am satisfied with.

The "Air (For Tony)" is dedicated to a good friend of 30 years who died too soon.

The Shazanian Waltz is dedicated to two tea extremists. I mention no names to protect the easily embarassed.

I thought I would find a use for my bullroarer and digeridoo, Castlemaine XXXX (nectar)

Flying with Gulls. They're evil, aggressive and smelly, but in the air it's poetry in motion.(Remix)

The Otter's Lament, a first for me, two sets of pipes at once!

Album Title: All Wynde and Watter

Release Year: Autumn 2008

Record Label: Otterbourne Digital Media

This is slightly different to the other albums I've turned out, in that the tracks are original folk tunes of the region. The difference being, is that I've arranged them to fit the style of the 15th century pieces that may have been the roots of Morris dance as we know it today.

Album Title: Songs me Granny Didn't Teach Me

Release Year: Late 2008

Record Label: Otterbourne Digital Media

This album is based on my collection of utterly bawdy songs I have arranged.

Even if you are not easily offended, you may have to think twice before opening it.

Despite modern standards, I have always considered the Victorian era to have been the most sexually orientated society ever. This collection of songs may yet be published as a karaoke version (with a song book included) and will be rated 18+.

Although the tunes have survived since the 15th and 16th centuries AND many will be recognizable as popular Morris dance tunes, I'll wager a goodly amount that no Morris side would never dare sing the acompanying verses in public.

(Not without the risk of prosecuion)
