This is a rough demo of a song I just wrote for Dicko's Boogie Band. Hopefully it will appear on their eventual EP.

Lynn. Music for people with two ears!
This site displays some of the diversity of music and musicians that I've had the good fortune to work with. There are some songs I've written in collaboration with various other artists and some demos of my own songs. I have been in as many as 6 bands at once, but at the moment I am concentrating mainly on Dicko's Boogie Band. It's nice to know I'm still in demand as a drummer. I sometimes get phone calls out of the blue from bands based up to 50 miles away, asking if I'll join them, or stand in for the odd gig. Unfortunately I have to turn most of those offers down as I don't have my own transport. There is also another band in the pipeline that I may be working with a lot more next year. I'll keep you posted. If you're wondering about the picture, that was taken on a gig with "Blowjangles", a local community streetband. I had to retire from my role as their musical director in order to concentrate on gigging with "Dicko's Boogie Band" but I may still do the odd gig with them. You can find out more about them on their website (just run the name through a search engine). I mixed and mastered some of their recordings. You can find one of the tracks on my new soundclick page - www.soundclick.com/wobbly. That site has examples of my productions of other people's songs. Most of them are recorded to demo standard.

Story behind the song
We were gonna spend a day at the Burnley Blues Festival over Easter but discovered to our horror that we were completely skint! So I wrote this tune to a guitar riff supplied by my good friend and collaborator, John McKeon. The lyrics were sparked by Chas with the first verse and chorus and I finished them off. (Chas didn't want to be mentioned as having any part in the writing of this song, but I feel that credit is due!) This demo was done mainly in one take by looping bits and shuffling them around. The first solo is John, the second solo is Chas. The singing is me of course....Don't worry, I wont be singing the final version...I'll be sticking to my drums! For those who haven't worked it out yet, the song is loosely about being a songwriter!
Lyrics
Got no time to hang around Must be on the Move Another new direction Try a different groove Point me at the mainstream Rolling with the flow CHORUS ======== Getting where im going Knowing what i know Life means such a lot to me Inspiration's guide People on the other hand Have a lot to hide Taking just the outside Helps the story flow CHORUS ======== Getting where im going Knowing what i know Solo 1 ===== Take my pen and paper Pick up my guitar Feel my soul inside of me Play another bar Tell what life has given me Let the rhythmn flow CHORUS ======== Getting where im going Knowing what i know Solo 2 ===== CHORUS ======== Getting where im going Knowing what i know Getting where im going Knowing what i know Ad lib outro ===========
