"From out of the dark"

From Out Of The Dark

From out of the dark is a collection of 6 songs finished during the infamous Covid lockdown of 2020, drawing musical influences from many different genres and based on different themes close to my heart.

Some with a narrative, others about how I felt a particular junction in life, playing music, writing and recording songs has been a great outlet for me and helped me deal with and express myself in a productive fashion.

With no single genre over the six songs I decided to put them out as From out of the dark, to show how something good can come from the darkness. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making them.

I appreciate so much all the friends and family who have helped critique these tracks ready for public consumption. Thanks also to my younger sister, Hannah, for providing her vocal talents and lyric writing on two of the songs.

#JeevesInTheOffing by #PGWodehouse mini spoiler free book review

Jeeves in the Offing (Jeeves, #12)Jeeves in the Offing by P.G. Wodehouse
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've been wanting to read the Jeeve's books since hearing a shower about P.G.Wodehouse on Radio 4 and stumbled across this 12 entry in the witty butler detective(ish) series where a silver cow creamer has been half inched at Aunt Dahlia's residence in Worcestershire, and Bertie feels he needs trust Jeeve's at his side to get to the bottom of things, calling him from his holiday no less to help aide in the deception, strange romances and thievery that seems to be happening all over the shop at his Aunt's very 'National Trust'-esque estate.

The story is bizarre, but I really like it. It has a typically British Christie vibe, but with a story not nearly as serious, instead revolving around idle gossip and scheming aristocrats. Wodehouse' voice for Bertie is fabulous. He's somehow equally smart and dopey, and his idle comments and humor had me laughing out loud once I'd gotten used to the language a little. It was a quick, fun and easy read and I'll definitely go back for some more.
