Americana / country cross

"My latest songs are nothing like the tradition- based English Folk Music I first started writing", says Mark. 

As you’ll hear, Mark’s current material reflects his move to the States, sliding more into an Americana / Country cross, kinda vibe. 

One of Mark’s main heroes is James Taylor and there is a certain Sweet Baby James feel to his new songs, combined with a touch of early Eagles… but there still remains a slight Van Morrison nod to his Celtic roots too.
