Some of my music has been used as an introductory piece for a few of the recent Mortimer History Society lectures. Here is a link to one of the lectures:-

Last week I had a great idea for a new guitar riff and I decided to see if I could use this for a new song. I then decided to see if I could write a new one about the battle of Jutland and here are the lyrics for the new song
They departed from the Firth of Forth
While the German fleet sailed North
Sailing towards that fateful day
A naval battle at the end of May
The Germans had hoped to lure and trap
A portion of the British fleet
But their signals were decryted
And Jellicoe's larger fleet
Admiral Scheer would meet
They departed from Scapa Flow
To the south they would go
Sailing towards that fateful day
A naval battle at the end of May
The Germans had hoped to lure and trap
A portion of the British fleet
But their signals were decryted
And Jellicoe's larger fleet
Admiral Scheer would meet
In the run to the south
On the British ships was wrought
The German superb gunnery
As the battle cruisers fought
