an introduction to my blog and to my new website.
INTENT – So called because it’s the most important element when working in the studio.
Big thank you to Robert Miller for the hilarious cover photo taken on a recent trip to Monsanto, Northern Portugal. My second visit to that extraordinary, beautiful place and source of much rock based work.

One was made by Phoebe for the SALTMOTHER event in Smeale, Isle of Man where we lived for many years… click on the second image on the page
