a beginning in time
| |
If I could pin-point a place in time which I could call a start it
would be standing looking over the Alaw listening to the breeze tease
my innocent dreams.
It was at this place in time I felt an overwhelming need to write,
which I did, on anything I could find, and it all came out, every piece
fitting into its rhythmic place, and it has driven me since.
As setting my writings to music is a part of that journey, that journey goes like this:
It must have been 1989 in Bangor, North Wales when I asked Keith and Marcus if we could record a song together, which we did in Marcus's room on the Collage Road. I took the tape down the road to the BBC where I was told to "take this £120:00 and record 3 demo songs, please", which I also did with the help of Keith, Ian and Pete Townsend (not from The Who) and a friend of Keith's on Mandolin. We recorded the three songs at a studio in Llanfair PG owned by my old English teacher.
So my first 3 song were recorded, I was interviewed and the songs were played on BBC Radio Cymru and then I left for South Africa.
Here are those three songs:
