Happy Christmas everyone!
Here's my new Christmas song, which is about the importance of family.
Hold Onto The Light, by LyricSlinger

'Oh, Christmas is here now
So hold onto the light
Never so clear
All I love’s here
Let’s celebrate this life'

Also out - Elvis Has Eaten The Room.
Rockabilly zombie Elvis impersonator!

'Now I'm the zombie with the swivelling hips
Got broken teeth behind my tremblin' lips
But the show don't stop darlin' just cos I'm dead
Gone from burgers to brains with a glass of red'

New single - Outta Luck, Outta Town.
Fun song, with an Aerosmith(y) vibe about a band getting into trouble while on tour. Please give it a listen. #newmusic #rock #lyricslinger

My new song is out.
Yo Boy, by LyricSlinger

About sticking together through the tough times

'Yo Mama's got powder on the counter
And her skirt hitched for a stranger in your house
Yo brother's cooking pasta on the burner
So you both get some food in your mouth'

And I have another new song for you.

The protagonist in Forever Baby seems to have had a bad breakup! 😅 #newmusic

'I could stare into your eyes forever
Open caskets are the best
I've got my dancing shoes on for later, baby
Cos we're on the final stretch'

Love Bomb is a 60s-flavoured happy song about a time when AI has created lasting peace and joy in the world. But is there a darker side? #newmusic

My new song is available to listen to on Spotify. It's called Funky Old Man. Bit of a funky disco type number. Check it out!

'Yeah, I'm a funky old man
My hips swivel and my head bops
My fedora's loud
But not as loud as my Hawaiian tops!'

3rd of my LyricSlinger Halloween songs
Scream For Us

'Vampires like fancy waistcoats
But their wardrobe is so retro
Like green baize snooker kings from the Seventies
Ray Reardon or Tony Meo'

2nd Halloween song
Even Zombies Cry

'If you peer hard in the moonlight
Twixt a dark and moody sky
If you look beyond the scary
Even zombies cry
If you peer hard in the moonlight
If by luck you don't die
If you look beyond the scary
Even zombies cry'

1st of a trilogy of Halloween songs that I wrote.
Met Her At The Graveyard (At Halloween)

'Oh yeah, dead girls party the hardest
Would you like to join our crew?
She says her friends are dead excited
To meet a girl like you'

Wonder what the odds were of Christian Garcia, of Andorra, being the only goal scorer at half time in the England vs Andorra match? Sadly, for him, it was into his own net! #football

Wow! 7 weeks ago, Amanda Anisimova was humbled 0-6 0-6 by Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon Ladies final. Tonight she's beaten Swiatek in straight sets to reach the US Open semi final. Gutsy and high quality performance. #tennis

The beauty of football witnessed tonight as League Two Grimsby Town beat Man Utd 12-11 on penalties after a 2-2 draw at full-time! Every Grimsby player raised their level for the game and beat what looked like a pretty much full strength Utd team. Incredible! #football #grimsby #cupmagic

Anthony Gordon has badly let down Eddie Howe and his team with that crazy (and unnecessary) foul on Van Dijk. Hard enough to play Liverpool with 11 players!

Had a really enjoyable evening out in Edinburgh, seeing the show by @joznorris.bsky.social .
It takes a lot of skill and bravery to put on a show like that. Intense character acting interwoven with great comedy moments and reflections on life. #Edinburghfringe
