Happy First Song Sprint Everyone! I have no idea how much or what I will get done this week!

2026 is my 15th FAWM! I write some #comedy songs, some just whatever songs (most usually have at least a "warm, gentle #humour #humor ", some are more "serious").

I like writing songs about everyday things "finding the humanity in mundanity, and the hilarity in familiarity".

This FAWM I would like to focus on writing more songs that I can perform live, and finding my playfulness,. Some songs are recording-only songs that I couldn't possibly do live but I also try to get some "keepers" for live gigs.

I have no idea what will come out of this FAWM and I'm looking forward to some games, skirmishes and challenges.

Most of all I just like being part of it!

I run a little open mic in Tottenham, North London - Ramshackle Collective - which has been going for about three and a half years now and has evolved into a lovely little community. So get in touch any local FAWMers - we'd love to have you play!

I don’t use AI to generate lyrics, melodies, instrumentation or arrangements. I do use it personally and sometimes as an a tool while writing/thinking/researching, but this is limited and songs are not "written by AI"

Drums are Addictive Drums 2 (midi patterns played live by real drummers, edited and arranged).

Happy FAWMing!
