My latest work

I haven't blogged in a while, reason being, I've been very busy musically and so without further ado.

May I present to you, my latest album - 'A Spanner in the works'.

You can have a listen here.

I hope you will like my music and share it around, feel free sign up for my mailing list at www.cescoemmanuelmusic.com. That way you can find out about new music and any shows directly from me, you'll get the scoop before the rest of the world does.

I've been working really hard on finishing this album, it's a culmination of five years of recording and 'stockpiling' for want of a better word, ideas I had for a long while. Some songs are older than that, like 'The Battle Within' is an old Brothers Grimm song, one of the first ones I ever wrote, back in 1992.

'The Illusion of a dream' is a solo acoustic song that I wrote back in 1996, it's being performed in a band format for the first time on this record , so it's good to go back to old material sometimes and see what kind of new feel can be given to it.

It always amazes me how a song takes on a life of its' own. My music can be a bit quirky and unusual at times, but it's totally me and how I write. I guess every musician/singer/songwriter/composer has their own unique way of doing things and it comes out in the songs themselves.

You may hear an influence or two in my songs, and I guess no man (or musician) is an island, we are all a product of our listening environment.

So, my dear friend and listener, I do hope you will like my new album and that would sing up for my mailing list to get all the latest news from me.

Till then, happy listening.
