Man on My Bicycle (Track 1)

This is from an album we recorded a long time ago, which few people have ever heard. We were never signed, never really pursued that. We went into a recording studio and recorded this for ourselves. I think it’s about time someone else heard it. I would love to re-record this entire album with modern equipment.

Jailbreak

Here’s a song by my cousin Mick Brears and myself & Bri. He plays guitar and sings as well as programming all the percussion. My mate Bri Littlehales also plays guitar and I play the bass. It’s just a rough demo but sounds OK to me.

Don’t You Know About That Girl? by Tension

Another old song from my first band. This is one of my favourites. I particularly love the words which are about a boyfriend jealously warning another guy (who’s been eyeing his girlfriend up all night) to leave off.

Not Another Love Song by Tension

I’m very proud of the first band I was in. It was the 1980s and we were called Tension. The band later changed its name to The Popups which I wasn’t keen on. Although we all had our input and helped develop the songs they were all written by Paddy Wilkinson who I rate as a great pop song writer and undiscovered talent.
