Greetings from a wind swept northern France. Demo of new song. Enjoy.
Here’s a song which disavows happiness for something more like loneliness. Is it a manifesto or something instant and bitter? Enjoy more on Stephen McGivern Spotify
Where is your Lord? Here is a demo of my first attempt at a Gospel song. I suppose it is uplifting but also a little subversive lyrically. Whilst working with other musicians the song was abandoned in favour of other ideas as often happens. The
I wrote this song about 20 years ago so I can’t remember all the chords to play it now but the atmosphere or what we might call the mood is still powerful and resonant, I feel. Soultrain is about leaving for a better life and the failures/dange
I have been uploading my music to Spotify. Actually some of the older songs go back over 20 years. It’s good to go back whilst heading forward. Here is the song Awaken about how we wrestle with our feelings even in certainty. Enjoy.

Sommarøy Part 1 It was on my Graduation day that I discovered Sommarøy. Calderwood told me there was a Careers Fair after our Conferment. I said I would go with him. We met in the University Cloisters 10 minutes or so after the ceremony. We we
It has been several months since I blogged and podcasted. I have recently moved house and finally recovered my equipment from a pyramid of cardboard boxes. For the last year I have been working on and off on a new short story about the coastal
