Secret Life of Music 1

Here are links for my class in QUB (the Secret Life of Music)

Try to ignore Glenn singing along, and enjoy as much of this sheer perfection as you like. See how it ends!

For the thirty years I have composed, performed and recorded in many different bands and for commercial and artistic projects of every kind. I have written music for the theatre, and art installation. I play piano, keyboards, guitar and bass. Currently, I perform Piano Solo and in Jazz combos. I also play in an original rock band.
