........................
Loved Ones is the name I gave a project I worked on with Alan Wright (of Arthur Shelton Jones fame) and producer/multi-intrumentalist Rich Hurst (Arthur Shelton Jones, The Laze, SCCC)... I recently became an extremely proud uncle for the first time and as my niece lives far away on the south coast I decided to write and record an album for her... I've been asked to put the lyrics up here, but I thought I'd put the tab as well up in case anyone wants to learn them for themselves... I wanted them to sound as much like traditional English folk songs as possible...
