Jon Twigg Music
Hi. I play mainly acoustic guitar but dabble with flute, harmonica, bass and keyboards (only one hand). I have recently recorded a second CD of original material. Apparently pictures of guitars are usual for songwriter websites, so here are some of mine. I have a few more but they all look more or less the same. If you look closely you can see the bits of tape I stuck on the bass to remind me where to put my fingers.
Did I mention that I had recorded 2 CDs ? O.K. Well, we'll get on to those later.
​
I thought about adding a picture of me with an acoustic guitar in a forest, or sitting on some sand dunes staring wistfully into the distance. Absolutely bonkers!
​
However, I do have a picture of me with a guitar in my greenhouse!
Which leads me on to......
The Greenhouse Tapes
Lockdown videos for a Weekly Virtual Open Mic session (Check out Dan Toft Music on Facebook). All recorded with a Canon Power Shot 400 camera. I put the best of them on youTube. Mostly covers but some originals. Some solo and some accompanied by a couple of other guys who look a bit like me. Look on youTube for 'Jon Twigg, The Greenhouse Tapes' (some are quite amusing).
There are links to three of the songs below, but there are more than 20 songs of varying degrees of competence and entertainment value.
So what about those 2 CDs then?
O.K. Seeing as how you've asked. Here's some information and pictures.
Under Rainbow Road
The first album. All original songs, each with a different story. Includes 'Clay' a tribute to 'The Potteries' (well, someone had to do it). My first foray into recording and not a bad job at all despite singing into the wrong end of the microphone. Released right at the start of Lockdown so I couldn't play it anywhere.
Once Around The Sun
The second album. A Concept album!
Songs inspired by different seasons and celebrations as the Earth travels around the Sun. Recorded in 2021/2022. A big step up from my first CD (which is actually pretty damn good anyway).
Once again mixed and mastered by Shaun Lowe at Prism studios to make it all sparkle ( prismstudios.co.uk )
This link should take you to a youTube video of Halloween to give you a taste of things https://youtu.be/tBAjd7pDdxY
If you have been tempted to listen to these CDs they are available at Amazon, iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music.
However, if you would like a hard copy of either of the CDs with wonderful packaging and full colour printed booklet with all the lyrics then you can order one from this very site!
Err.. You used to be able to, but whilst I am working on the next CD I have disabled this function to reduce costs.
