“Pretty Little Thing” (Fink) cover This was the first Fink song I learned. Took me a quite while to get comfortable with the fingerpicking and rhythmic technique.

“Ohio” (Neil Young) cover One of Neil Young’s lesser known songs, this is actually an anti war protest song from 1970. It still rocks in my book.

“The Pigeons Eyes” (Ben Jacobs) original song I was very unwell when I wrote this song (about 9 years ago). I went through my first episode of illness and I wasn’t looking after myself.

“Plenty to Share” (Ben Jacobs) Original I consider this to be the first proper/meaningful song I ever wrote; this was around 14 years ago.

“Walking” - Original song I wrote this a few years ago. I was stuck in the house feeling anxious about going outside at the time.
