'My Secret Love' debut album available to order here


Ah, there you are! You’re just in time.

I’ve been away for a while dusting cobwebs and making curtains for my new house here at http://www.tuanmac.com/, the welcome mat is in place and there’s a fresh pot of tea on the table with some lovely cherry jam tarts I baked earlier, please won’t you draw up a seat?...

The album is finished and polished why you can almost see your face reflected in it. Your face, my face, your feelings, my feelings. We are in this together after all, did you really think that we are only strangers? Tsk tsk, no no, we are friends who are simply waiting to meet, waiting for the planets to align until our paths cross...

There are ten songs on the CD. Think of them as ten chapters, ten stories, ten characters of which none could exist without the other. Jekyll and Hyde, light and shadow, sad and merry, flip sides of the same coin – just make sure you choose the right coin in the first place - Ah but you have!

To paraphrase an old dear friend of mine ‘You have already won the Golden Ticket my dear child I congratulate you!’

Now be sure to follow the yellow brick road, follow follow follow.....all the way to here

If you happen to be in doubt just follow your heart for as you know, love never lies.

The autumnal rains are falling and the clouds sweep fast across the sky.

Hurry and I will see you there.

Autumn England

If I could translate my name for you into English it would mean Autumn England. I was born on an autumn day in this country they call England.

The autumn rain is here - I can hear it pattering against my windowpane. It reminds me of a song I used to sing when I was ten years old:

'Autumn days when the grass is jewelled
and the silk inside a chestnut shell
Jetplanes meeting in the air to be refuelled
All these things I love so well

Perhaps you know it?

My birthday falls on the day of the full moon this coming week and I can feel an electricity in the air.

I don't think I'll be changing into a wolf at any point but if I do I'll let you know. Do I believe in that stuff? A lot of people don't. But I can tell you what I do believe in.

I believe in you
I believe in me
I believe in people
I believe in stories
I believe in music
I believe in magic
I believe in the stars
I believe that I am the universe
and I believe that you are the universe.
