...well, it can't always be good news, can it? After a lifetime of loading guitars into all manner of vehicles, I finally managed to drive the rear wheel of my car over my favourite Telecaster one frosty morning, cracking the body and damaging the neck joint. All fixed up and glued back together again now, but a needless exercise really; if I had just been more careful...

Fifty Up!
Over the past few months I have been putting some of my own songs onto YouTube. They're not studio recordings, just basic, simple vocal & guitar renditions, but they are all original Owen Moore songs and some are brand new whilst others are songs that I have previously recorded on my albums.
I haven't arranged or uploaded these YouTube tracks in any particular order, I just played whatever song I felt like doing at the time.
Anyway, I have now uploaded song number 50 and I have created a playlist which I've called Owen Moore Original Songs. There are plenty of tracks to choose from and the whole playlist can be found on YouTube, by copying or following this link:-

If you'd care to, please dip into it from time to time and have a listen a song or two. Thanks...

New 18-track LIVE album now ready.
"Quiet Songs In Loud Places". A completely acoustic set, recorded on a simple table-top microphone right in the middle of the audience, this album manages to cram eighteen songs into just under an hour. Lots of atmosphere and noise, lots of hustle & bustle - but lots of good songs too...

A good start to the new year with two of my recordings appearing on the new 22-song Hotdisc album "Best Of British & Irish Country 2015"; my own song, "Walking With That Girl Of Mine" and one by Willie Nelson and Buddy Cannon, "Guitar In The Corner".

Finally completed my second album of 2015. This CD is a collection of songs by other songwriters that I have enjoyed performing many times over the years, in pubs, clubs and concerts - and when I've been out and about busking too. The new album is called, "Songs For Passing Strangers".

I'm pleased to see that during August and September, "Guitar In The Corner", one of the songs from my new album, has just spent a very happy few weeks in the Hotdisc Country Music charts.
July 2015
New CD just finished.
A collection of a dozen country music songs, with the classic themes of love, loss, hope and despair. Some date from my very earliest street-singing days and many were recorded originally by such performers as Don Williams, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Willie Nelson. One or two tracks are sad and reflective, others more bright and joyful, but all are recorded in a laid back and low key style to create a gentle, mostly acoustic-sounding album. "City Streets & Country Songs".

Just putting the finishing touches to another bunch of songs...
April 2015
Delighted to see that one of my songs, "Walking With That Girl Of Mine" has just made an appearance as a new entry on this month's Hotdisc Country Music charts.
Had an enjoyable time as the guest on Tony Pankhurst's two-hour country music show on Skyline Gold, picking a lot of the music tracks and chatting about my own songs. The following week Tony kindly played a Live track of mine that I'd only just recorded a couple of nights earlier. Quick work!

Another one of my songs, "Rosanna Del Rey", has entered the Hotdisc Country Music charts, so there are now two tracks of mine in the Hotdisc charts at the same time. A good start to the year!

"Two Cats", one of the songs on my new album, "Short Songs From Thin Air", has just made it to the dizzy heights of number 16 in the Hotdisc Country Music charts!

I have just finished working on a new collection of ten all-original songs that will hopefully be available on a forthcoming album by the end of summer:-
"Short Songs From Thin Air"

May 2014
New album now available as a download on lots of digital music sites, including iTunes and Amazon:-
"Bar Rooms, Back Rooms & October Songs"
The month of October 2013 was very busy and after recording many of the gigs I played, I picked sixteen songs for a Live album.
The songs were all recorded in small places, mostly noisy bars or cafes, so the album certainly doesn't have a perfect studio-type sound to it; far from it in fact. The music just took its chances along with everything else that was going on there at the same time, but even so, I hope the tracks will convey something of the atmosphere of a real live, face-to-face, intimate music event.
