Songs

You are here:

I have written a few songs over the years, mostly comic pieces or parodies.

'A song for Julie (and Owen)' aka 'A dog he went walking...'
Happy Drowning

When I get time I will try and dig out some of the other stuff I've written, and update this page with Lyrics and music.

A song for Julie (and Owen)

This is the only song I've written that I've actually sang in public more than once or twice. I don't sing it very often, as it is a little bit soppy. It was intended to be a love song for valentine's day for Julie, but ended up being about her dog Owen.

A new song from Phil Preen to the tune of Dave Webber's ‘The Blackbird’.

Poetry and other writings

I am not really a poet nor an author, but I have knocked out the odd poem in my time, and have contemplated writing a novel or two. Whether that will ever happen or not, who knows?

I have written a number of tunes, intended to be dance tunes for ceilidh, barn dances, morris dances, or just playing tunes for folk music sessions, but I've not really done much with them.
