"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.

#AChristmasCarol by #CharlesDickens mini spoiler free book review

A Christmas CarolA Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My first time actually reading A Christmas Carol, and not just watching the Muppets or George C Scott version, what I found is that these versions actually acknowledge the source material really well - besides from the colourful puppets...

It was a joy to read this tale, and despite it's age I found it easy to digest. What I did find is that the time spent with the third spectre seemed to go on for ages, and then when Scrooge finds his redemption that seemed to fly by and the books over before you get chance to revel in his new found joviality.

Still, an excellent read and one I've been meaning to for many Christmastimes! Glad I can tick this one off.
