My 10th original release breaks boundaries (even for me) Here's my first collaboration, and my 10th original release, This is How the Story Begins. Despite countless artists wishing to work with me (honoured and humbled), I have refrained up until now. This is mainly because I have always been able to create whatever I want to make without the help of anyone else, so I never really saw the point. I have always been impressed with the lyrical speed and wit of fellow English ar

MORE TREATS! A couple of weeks ago I gave you a treat for the ears. Now comes a treat for the eyes! My Summer song's visual companion. WHEN HAS SUMMER EVER BEEN SUBTLE...? The video is full of raw colour and energy, so if that's your thang and you just can't get enough of the song itself, it's probably time you watched the video. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT ON YOUTUBE OR LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! The usual LIKE/SHARE - if you can - it really helps Tap here to open in YouTube or

Hey all!! You may have been thinking I've been a little quiet lately - if you have been thinking at all. But in fact, I have been cooking up a Summer treat for y'all. Here is my brand new Summer single, Europe in the Summertime, available to stream on all platforms! Let me know what you think either below or somewhere around the internet - I'm always somewhere around the internet, you just have to know where to look. EUROPE IN THE SUMMERTIME (click here to stream on Spotify o

Ten days after the release of my latest single, The Birthday Song (released on my birthday), I unexpectedly find myself with a wealth of the loveliest gifts I could imagine. What a week it has been! Releasing a single can be a somewhat stressful affair, what with one thing and another, so my birthday was not exactly peaceful, calm or relaxing…! But it felt good. A sense of achievement. It is such a special feeling to release one’s songs to the public. It can be nerve-racking.

And finally, it's my birthday. Seeing as I can't celebrate with anyone, what better way to see in my latest year with a song. The Beatles sang From Me to You, but I decided to do something From Me to ME! Because why not. Anyway, I won't say much this time. Give in to the FUNK! Give it a LISTEN, save it in your LIBRARY, add it to your PLAYLISTS and let me know what you think of it! Make a point of SHARING it with anyone whose birthday it is, whenever that might be!

Less than two weeks since my Christmas song release and with more than 3,000 streams on Spotify alone, I thought I would give everyone an extra big little gift... Here it is!! I wasn't going to make a video for this song, but I felt it deserved one. So in the last two or three days I cobbled together this little bit of fun. Having had my new iPhone 12 mini for less than a week, I thought I'd try and incorporate one of its features - Memoji. But in my usual fashion, I adapted

Some of you may not know this, but I have been writing weekly single reviews for other budding artists for a few months, called Connolly's Corner. They seem to be going down rather well, as I do it a little differently. What I attempt is to create an image or scene; a feeling or vision. This is all for a wonderful organisation called the New Artist Spotlight (I created and designed their website too) founded by Ed Eagle. Its goal is to help artists achieve popularity, streams

Bryony Brook and Patrick Leo Holland played my brand new song, To See My Lover Again, on Frome FM - they seem to be fans of mine...! This is the second time they have played my music.

Just over a week after the release of To See My Lover Again - and over 2,000 streams later - the official music video is OUT NOW! I thought I would put together a little visual experience for the song, so here it is. If you really like it, please do subscribe to my YouTube channel - means a lot. Let me know what you all think of the video! Even though TSMLA has been out for such a brief time, the love has been pouring in. I have lost track of the amount of compliments I have

So this is what has been going on. Corr! What a week this has been. Or less than a week, I should say. Firstly my new single, To See My Lover Again, was released on Friday, but that was planned. The rest was most certainly not. Two days before my release, Spotify informed me that I have 500 followers! The very same day I also hit a landmark milestone of 10,000 streams for my first single, Never Said Goodbye. One day before the new single release, I managed over 100 pre-saves
