Singing

Singing has always been a hobby of mine, but since coming to university, opportunities to sing for fun have dwindled. Reluctant to neglect such an important part of who I am, I started to record cover versions of songs I like, and showcase them here on the blog. I try to be as versatile as I can with the genres, to reflect my varied taste...so there should be something for (almost) everyone!

I don't have access to any instruments, so the majority of the covers are just me singing and clapping/clicking/banging on the table. There is the occasional duet or karaoke-track backing. The audio quality isn't great, but these were never meant to be serious covers, so I haven't paid much attention to the technical side of things.

So here are the covers I've done so far. This page will be updated as and when I have time to record covers, and obviously they'll appear as individual posts on the blog as well. For those of you on crappy internet connections, download links are provided.

I hope you like what I've done!
