My Tunes
Here you'll find music that I've composed. These are generally folk tunes and are provided in abc format. PDFs available upon request, I will gradually add the sheet music to the tunes here. I have recorded some of the tunes and you can find them on SoundCloud. Some of them are bad MIDI files but I am intending to re-record those and record the rest of them in time.
You can filter these tunes using the "select tag" option.
Any of my tunes can be used for non-profit use, including the notation but PLEASE ALWAYS give credit.

Inspired during a walk on the CUCB Tour to the Lake District in 2018 where a group of us stopped to admire many many things and eventually got left behind by the main group who just wanted to reach the top of the hill...

This one didn't really have a definite inspiration, just came out of a session noodling on the piano.

Inspired by a sheep. In my bed. Honestly, the sheep is a toy sheep, I still have it. I still love it. It's a surprisingly unexciting reason for a tune but there we go.

Imagine a journey through a spooky and empty haunted house at night time with a full moon.
Deathly silence is all around apart from the noise of your shoes and the creaking of the house.
Then comes this tune.
(Inspiration you ask? Well it was nearly Halloween, I'd recently got a set of clogs. It's a fun tune to clog to.)
