Alastair Brown - Singer/songwriter

Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone in Manchester that sang, supported and helped me spread the musical love over the last week!!

Big things are coming soon. I've been writing solo material and have completely reworked my whole life of being in a band singing rock vocals to accommodate a new more acoustic vibe....

I'm relentless in pursuing my dreams!

More info and live dates incoming.

Big love for all the support thus far!

***** NEW MUSIC *****
I was going thru my folder of half finished songs and stumbled across this little blues/rock tune I started a couple of months ago and for whatever reason shelved and forgot about it. So after finding it again, giving it a good listen and hearing that although not at all intricate or mind blowing as far as song writing goes, it still is a nice little tune. So I've spent the afternoon finishing it off to a point where I feel comfortable sharing it with you all.....

This song is called FEEL.....

Enjoy and as always please do let me know what you think in the comments section below.

Big love xx

***** NEW MUSIC *****

Its been over a month since I wrote a new song for you all. I've been dealing with a lot of s**t in my personal life and the magic of creativity has been lacking of late. However I wrote this new song last night and finished it off today. Feels good to at least get something new out there!!

Soft rock, bluesy ballad vibes!

I especially love the tempo change for the guitar solo!
Still not sure if its too much tho and ruins the ambience of the song.... What do you guys think??!

*** NEW MUSIC ***

Here's one of my new songs I've written called RUFF SLEEPER.

I plan on releasing this track for sale around Christmas time and hope to get a national homeless charity like Crisis or Shelter to back it and all profits generated from sales of the single will go to the chosen charity. Hope fully this will not only generate a bit of cash to help the charity but raise awareness of the plight someone without a home faces on a daily basis.

https://soundcloud.com/alastairbrownuk/ruff-sleeper?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

RUFF SLEEPER A catchy tune that lyrically takes you on a journey to look inside the mind and life of a homeless person that lives in the stairwell of a multi-story carpark and goes busking everyday to feed himself

*** MY SECOND SINGLE 'JUST GO' IS RELEASED TODAY ***

My second single JUST GO is out TODAY!!

Available to stream and purchase from all major online digital retailers!!

Thanks for all the support thus far everyone!

My second song to be released from my solo project is called JUST GO and is available to stream on Spotify etc and to purchase from all major online digital retailers from today!!
I really appreciate all the support I've been getting from you all for my solo project. It was a bit daunting at first having been in bands all my life. But I have written so much material over the years that hasn't been suitable for the style of bands I've been in but that was too good to throw away. So I think it was inevitable that I was going to go solo at some point.....

Anyway enjoy my second release JUST GO from today.....

For those who haven't heard it yet here's a link to it on my soundcloud account: https://soundcloud.com/alastairbrownuk/just-go-original-version?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

JUST GO - ORIGINAL VERSION This song is written from personal experience of being in a relationship with someone that I loved dearly but she ended up ripping out my heart by pretending that she still loved me whilst out dating
