The Hidden Door: Songs in the Key of Enchantment

My song writing includes social-comment pop-folk compositions, love songs, songs which express my love of Faerie and religious or inspirational songs, such as Christmas carols, choral anthems and hymns.

For my first CD I have chosen to focus primarily on Faerie. These are songs most closely associated with my Tolkien artwork, and most have at one time or another been performed at fan gatherings.
