Apocalyptic Pause & Repertoire 200!14/4/2020 With such a prolonged period of wet, windy, and stormy weather late autumn & winter, I made a concerted effort to successfully breach 200 songs in my Full Gigging Repertoire; av. on my WebSite, LemonRock, & Facebook. Hope I get opportunities to perform again!  Apocalyptic Pause is Plucky's Worthy Original No. 26! Written in Nov. See how lyrically prophetic the song turned out to be, when related to what's befallen us in light of the Global COVID-19 pandemic. RAP with full Lyrics available in YouTube info. and Closed Caption (CC). Troubled times indeed - stay safe! Plucky 💖 tphx
TPH Gt. British Buskin' Birthday Tour7/10/2019 15 days - busked in 8 Cities/Towns en route; Northampton, Carlisle, Stirling, Aviemore, Aberdeen, Dundee, Newcastle, and Leicester.

Relaxing in the sunshine within the circle around me; in deckchairs Intu had laid-on, sat on the walling, or on the AstroTurf eating pizza! Just chillin', while the non-stop river of life streamed on by, going about it's business through the malls. Just PERFECT! tphx
Plucky's 1st Songwriting AWARD!!2/12/2018
You've got to be in it to win it, they say... OK, I didn't win with this, my very first entry per se, but it was a result nonetheless & gratefully received too. I was really delighted to receive a little recognition from such a fabulous panel of renowned & talented judges. Esp. given the relatively short time I've been pursuing this newfound dream, passion, career. I'd just bought a new HD video camera last year, so Christmas Time - Al' An' Om' was my first upload to YT; far too long with 4 choruses! BUT, this year hope to upload two shorter versions. AND perhaps release it officially for next Xmas! tphx
