Getting the music out there!
"Home" : John D. Lewis.
"Home" has been described by many as a new anthem for Teesdale, one of the UK's most picturesque Northern Dales.
Written by Dawn M. Lewis and John D. Lewis, the song was first performed by hundreds of children at "The Big Sing" - a concert by the Primary School Children of Teesdale.
It has since been performed by church choirs, and at special school events, and recorded by the Children of Ingleton C.E. Primary School to raise funds for their school.
Schools wishing to use the song can contact Coquet Shack for a full backing track CD and the lyrics.

"Repair When Necessary" : Martyn Lewis.
"A collection of songs of love and politics, "Repair When Necessary" has "quite a positive spin: life must be good," says singer-songwriter Martyn Lewis.
"It's predominantly guitar based and feels more accessible than my last album - 'Weekends'," says Lewis.
Recording finished late in 2008 and mixing was completed early this year, "Repair When Necessary" is due for release on May 1, 2009.

"All I Can Do" : John D. Lewis.
"All I Can Do is one-part jangly guitar, one-part lovingly crafted
melodies, and one-part honest and poetic lyrics. Above all it is an
album of excellent song-craft. It deserves to be picked up by you, and
by many other people. Spread the word." Robbie Swale, Amazon.com (full review)
"Grandpa's Shed" - the second single from "All I Can Do" is the second US Top Ten Hit for co writers John and Dawn Lewis.
Lewis is now back in the studio completing work on his next - as yet untitled - album which is due for release in the Fall of 2009.
