This is an early recording (2007) of Footprints in the Sand which would eventually appear on my Live at Home album. This was recorded at home using a couple of Rode NT1 Mics.
We Know her well – Barfly, Liverpool

Don’t Let Me Go and original song by Mark Pountney
This performance was recorded at home. Don’t let me go would be recorded some years later for the Live at Home album. I hope to do anther studio recording of this with drums and horns.
Two mics were used for this recording; a vintage Electrovoice EV666 and a Electrovoice PL10 both running through an ART Pro VLA II.
The guitar is a Guild GAD JF48 .
A vintage Hofner Senator can be seen in the background. Recorded live in 2010. This is one of my original compositions influenced by Eddie Hinton and Otis
Lyrics
Hold on, baby to the good thing we got goin on
Lay your heart on line believe me I won’t do you no harm no
When you think of all those goodtimes we had you could lean on me when things got bad.
So don’t don’t don’t don’t let me go.
Come on baby you don’t have to go an say goodbye to a love that’s gone old
Please don’t let your lovin’ light grow cold.
Many times have I walked that line. With trouble in heart and trouble in mind
So don’t don’t don’t don’t let me go.
There will be some blue skies after the rain, it would only make me sad to believe that I never see your light again
Come on baby you don’t have to go an say goodbye to a love that’s gone old
Please don’t let your love row cold.
Many times have I walked that line. With trouble in heart and trouble in mind
So don’t don’t don’t don’t let me go.

She’s Got a Plan – Live at the Barfly Liverpool 5th june 2007
This performance of she’s got a plan at the Barfly was supporting Christian Kane, who was famous for being a character in the Angel TV series. Follwing my set he can on stage and said “Hey that guy can sure sing his ass off!”
I later recorded the song for the Live at Home album.
Lyrics:
I don’t know why the feelin’ still grows from the top of my head to the tips of my toes
But the girl I’m taking out tonight there’s something about her that don’t seem quite right.
I can’t seem to scratch the itch when I’m grooving to the music like a son of a bitch,
She’s looking like the devil and talking like a saint she say that she I but I know that she ain’t
And I think that she’s got a plan, I think that she’s got a plan, I think that she’s got a plan she’s gonna bring me down if she can.
Rumor has it that on route to Bombay she was questioned by a dude from the CIA. She crossed her heart and hoped to die she said she was with me now. I’m her alibi.
I asked he once but she punched my eyed why she’s got more gadgets than a double “O” spy, she took me upstairs and loved me half to death
Asking these questions isn’t good for my health
Time rolled on and it all worked out and she’s saved my life beyond the shadow of a doubt
She saved me from a couple of assassinations ain’t some consolation
Apparently I’m the spit of a guy who I wanted in the east and sentenced to die
Bounty hunters came from miles around each one trying to put me down
