It was immense fun to record Christmas material the other day in Dulwich. Here is a clip of us recording my 'Christmas Lullaby' publ. @RSCMMusicDirect - thanks to all the wonderful singers. Out on @VivumMusic this Autumn.

Anyone into @Fortnite can expect a funny night tonight!! Bravo and thanks @theslipstream_x @FNFestival

Apart from all the stolen copyrights that have gone into training AI to be able to rework existing work at the touch of the button at the expense of original creators, it's the mass devaluation of the creative process that suffers most. No longer will there be an inherent…

The trouble with Donnie at the helm is that he has no respect for the creative industries whatsoever. His sarcasm is particularly ill-judged and he underestimates the power of global creative professionals and their brainpower. AI is not 'genius'.

Some incredible news, from the excellent company who, in part, helped turn around Funny Song's global success. All power to their collective elbows... musicbusinessworldwide.com/orfium-awarded…

This is abhorrent. Tech bros undermining the entire point of human creative endeavour

"The AI community apparently believes they are entitled to steal our work..because what they are doing is so transformational. Well, let me tell you, billions of people have been transformed by books." youtube.com/watch?v=0fPUWS…

Just been sent this - a very sweet performance of 'The Christmas Story' (publ. @stainerandbell) from @1stChurchLA last Christmas - narrated by Bill Rogers and conducted by Isaiah Castro. Bravi tutti! youtube.com/watch?v=Vl4i1e…

Apparently this very sparse track (just me multitracked playing piano and the smaller pipe organ at our old house) is now a staple of @BBCRadio3 Unwind - thanks to them! open.spotify.com/track/6XXS158u…

A year ago we recorded Funny Song Hollywood! Lovely recording by @CWsession cond. Adam Robinson youtube.com/watch?v=2oS52P…

It’s never too early to be thinking about Christmas if you’re @thewittjones! His beautiful carol Bethlehem Whispers with touching words by @revgjg is available now from @stainerandbell stainer.co.uk/shop/cn79/?fbc…

To the many professional audio software companies releasing press releases saying they are proudly incorporating AI tools: please do realise that a huge body of creative professionals (read: much of our industry) feels a mass betrayal at the unfolding normalisation of stealing.

Here's my new Christmas carol for 2025, 'Bethlehem Whispers' - this one setting words by @revgjg. Beautiful performance here by @VivumMusic Singers - sheet music via this link: stainer.co.uk/shop/cn79/

Each time an AI music company ad comes up now, I comment like this - and urge you to do the same! 🤣

¡Gracias, Pedro! ¡Saludos!

Thank you @hawleymo/@SenHawleyPress for driving the fight against IP theft in AI training and protecting all creators.

It was fun doing this interview with the iconic @PRSforMusic M-Magazine about music composition and social media. Everyone needs a Funny Song and the truth is, you need to be a good writer but also a huge amount of luck!
