It’s true, John really loves his early morning fresh cup of coffee.
He particularly likes a flat white. These days he has a decaf and asks for an extra shot!
“I really love coffee culture. I love going into a coffee shop and seeing the buzz – the Baristas working at speed, the sounds, the smell of coffee, people being interviewed or on laptops or on mobiles or just reading a newspaper. Others sitting outside enjoying the morning sun. I hope I’ve captured that essence in this song! Comments John.
It’s the beginning of another working week
People at bus stops or walking down the street
People with a coffee, we all need a treat
A fresh cup of coffee is so hard to beat
Some drink a latte others a flat white
Expresso or cappuccino; they’re alright
People sitting outside enjoy the sunlight
Drinking coffee’s a ritual, even at night
I love my morning coffee
I love the strong taste
I love coffee culture
In so many many ways
In so many many ways
I walk into the local coffee shop
It’s busy! Crazy busy! It’s non-stop
People on their mobiles, someone on a laptop
Lady being interviewed. Others it’s a whistle-stop
Grinding of the beans. Sound of coffee machine
The queue is getting longer; at least fifteen
I look a-round. It’s an in-credible scene
Baristas working at speed! Must be on caffeine
I love my morning coffee
I love the strong taste
I love coffee culture
In so many many ways
In so many many ways
The aroma of fresh coffee; slightly smoky
Blimey! Someone’s ordered a cup of tea!
They buy a roll with dates and brie!
This cannot be right! It’s verging on in-sanity!
At last I reach the counter. Flat white, extra shot
It’s been a long wait. Coffee hits the spot
I walk out. Find a seat. Enjoy what I’ve got.
A great start to the day is like winning the jack-pot.
I love my morning coffee
I love the strong taste
I love coffee culture
In so many many ways
In so many many ways
I love my morning coffee
I love the strong taste
I love coffee culture
In so many many ways
In so many many ways
In so many many ways
In so many many ways

Well, here is our first music video! We hope we’ve captured the essence of the song. Coffee is such an evocative drink – that smell of the roasted coffee beans! It’s fantastic! The video follows the song on its journey, reflecting the social interaction between people. If you have ever stopped and looked at people in or outside the coffee shop, you’ll know what we mean. When it’s really busy the Baristas are working at top speed and there’s that sense of urgency but when you turn and look at where people are sitting there’s that sense of calmness and pleasure. We hope you enjoy the video! Do give us your feedback.
“Ghosts Awaken” is a song celebrating the fun, spooky atmosphere and tension of Halloween, that’s celebrated on 31st October. “Ghosts Awaken” is in the style of rock horror pop, very atmospheric synthesiser layers, with a hint of spookiness and flourishing dual guitar licks.
‘Far Too Long Apart’ is based on a true story. It’s how John felt when he was away from Sue.
Here’s our Eurovision song entry! Well, it would be, if, we were entering it! Moonlight Love Affair is best described as a Spanglish techno/Latino/pop song with Spanish and English lines alternating through each verse, together with a Spanish chorus!

I haven’t been practicing enough over the last few weeks and it really shows! I’ve been cramming all morning and getting more frustrated by the minute
You’d think setting up a band and launching songs would be pretty straight forward! You’d be mistaken!
