Mrcorbett - Historical Improbable

Well born few too many moons ago, been writing songs since i was a kid and only got brave enough to sing them in public when i was old enough to not care what a racket i was making:)

I am a Beatles nut and always have been since i can remember, also huge fan of Pink Floyd / Syd Barrett , so you will hear a lot of both in my music. But i do listen to a variety of music and Kate Bush and Sparks are my current faves, just so different and clever. I do try and soak in everything i hear though and see what my mind jumble can come up with.

I first released my music online in 2007, on Cdbaby and all the major download sites, this album was called “Nomany” an album I still love to this day, despite the very ropey vocals which mar it and my rather limited production skills at that time. You have to start somewhere, and in the years since I have always tried to push myself harder to improve on all aspects of music and music production. I’m a very quiet chap but immensely determined and resilient, every song is an adventure, and in the last eleven years I've been to some very strange places, including genres like trance and even a dabble in hip hop which thankfully I never let anyone hear!

I just never get bored with writing songs, despite the limited response they get. It took me eight years to get played on the local radio, but I never gave up, i must hold the record for rejected tracks on BBC Shropshire, but I got there in the end and they even played my song “Rain in the Summertime” for three weeks straight, which made the long wait all the more worth it!

I play live regularly at open mics, usually on my own, performing a mix of my own stuff and some choice covers which not many others do, like TV themes and Beatles classics like "a day in the life" and "Happiness is a warm gun", anything that challenges me and tickles the audience really. My highlights so far are playing at a couple of one day festival gigs to nearly 1000 people, very scary but a great experience all the same.

In recent years I’ve branched out as a writer and have self published several books of my poetry and also two books that feature all my lyrics and stories behind all my songs released and unreleased from 2004 - 2016. All are available on Amazon as real books or modern downloads. Also I am a very keen amateur photographer and have been lucky enough to have been quite successful in selling my images online, mainly landscapes and old ruins but also I enjoy the challenges of wildlife photography and also like to experiment with the camera to produce more abstract and spooky images. If ever you want to know how ghostly images are produced, i’m you man!
