Today's piece was kindly sponsored by my mum and dad. The title has no relation to the popular carol. It's just my take on the journey of the Kings, with a bit of a swing in their step!

Today's piece was kindly sponsored by Sharon and Vicko. I know marriage isn't eternal joy every minute, but wouldn't that be dull! Hopefully in this piece I've captured all the best bits.

Today's piece was kindly sponsored by Nicola Shergold. Broken chords are shared between the hands, with a melody created by the final note of each sextuplet.

Today's piece was kindly sponsored by Jane Fisher, for Simon Mercer. Apparently Simon is not the biggest fan of Christmas. I was tempted to go down the Scrooge / Grinch route, but I know Simon is actually very kindhearted, so Krampus seemed more appropriate. Despite appearing to be a bah humbug, Krampus actually helps Santa, by scaring the living daylights out of naughty children, encouraging them to be good. You have been warned...

Today's piece was sponsored by a cheeky little elf who loves to sing opera. I bet he can't find the incredibly-well disguised opera quote embedded within this piece. It's so subtle...

Today's piece is sponsored by professional pianist Jill Morton. Jill has a very popular and excellent Youtube channel, and tells me that she'll be adding her own performance of Roasting Chestnuts to her channel. I'll update this page with a link to it, and then you can hear the piece as it's meant to be played - I am winging it here!!

Happy birthday to Christian Morris, the sponsor of this piece! This tune has become better known as 'Deck the Halls', but its roots lie in Wales, like Christian's. I hope as a fellow harmony-smith, he enjoys and possibly laughs at my quirky version!!

This pretty little tune reminded me of happy days in Paris, staying with a friend in St Germaine. I can feel the sunlight filtering through the plane trees, as we sip from little cups of very strong coffee. Bliss!

This jazzy little waltz has a melancholy feel. The right hand has to perform considerable gymnastics, but the trick is too relax and make it look easy and relaxed. Easier said than done!

I've written this piece for a young man who became very fond of another of my tunes, Ants in Your Pants. I've tried to create a similar vibe whilst making it even more challenging.

I've written today's piece for a very special friend, who reaches a milestone birthday tomorrow. To play the piece well, great care needs to be taken over the quavers, which often repeat the main melody note or even go above the melody, but should always be played softer, so as to not outshine the melody.

Even the best years end with a feeling of melancholy for me, before New Year's Day brings fresh hope for the future. Here's a piece to play when you're in a reflective mood.

On the face of it this piece doesn't look too difficult. However, I feel it takes an experienced player to bring out the emotion in the music. And the chords need to be balanced very carefully.

I'm very fond of this piece, which sounds rather bigheaded! Maybe it's because I'm very fond of the person it's dedicated to. Thank you Ruth for your donation, and remember I expect to hear you play this one day!

Thank you to Bryan Turner for his kind donation to Cancer Research UK. I've tried to recapture 'bygone days' in a sunny, flower-filled garden for this piece.

After Nick's generous donation to Cancer Research UK, I was able to work with him (he's a student) to create a piece that combines all his favourite styles.
