It began as #ScrollTheMusical, when I realised that the key to my songwriting was to use the stories of others. That led to Everything & Anything The Musical. And that's now morphed into The Ministry of Mini Musicals, a portable personalised songwriting service, creating unique magical moments.
Coming up this week, an acrostic song about libraries. #scrollthemusical
I wanted to spend more time with the instrumental of yesterday's song so I got the guys to do a dance off. But who's the greatest dancer? Delores Del Winter or Marin Martini. Only you can decide.

Today's song is about those days when you feel like you can't put a foot wrong. It's called In Step With The World. I hope you're all having one today.

A Writer's Prayer. I wrote the words as a poem on the train up to Stratford on Wednesday then turned them into this 3 chord song this morning. (I saw the the Dylan film on Monday. It's dedicated to everyone staring at a page wondering "What next?"

Today's song is called Flying is Wasted on the Birds. It's an original tune but it does have an air of familiarity so I am genuinely curious to know if it sounds like any other existing song to your ears.

Today's song uses the words from yesterdays' poem. Me, Rio & Pedro then improvised a tune and harmony.
Pedro wants to call us the Bluesky High Fliers but I've pointed out people might mix us up with Noel Gallagher's pretend pop band.

The reason my songs are usually sung by puppets is because for most of my life, although I've always played & used music, I never felt like I had a voice. At the age of 48, I discovered that, just as with all my writing, my voice as a songwriter is other people's voices.
#ScrollTheMusical
Today's song is called Unseen Kindness.
