Projects

All of my musical projects – completed, in progress and planned – work towards my principal goal of raising as much money as I can for PROSTATE CANCER.  The money from each CD that is sold goes towards that charity.

Please E-Mail me for details of how you can help me to raise money by buying my CDs directly from me, or to make a contribution.

All my music is released on my own independent label:GyspyKateRecords, is recorded at GypsyKateStudios in Billingham, and is Copyright: GypsyKateMusic. 

Completed Projects.

Mutual Energy – Released
There a couple of tracks from this EP in my Discography Page – Other: In The Meantime & Mutual Energy.  My friend since the mid-60s, Ian Alexander (Alex), and I write, perform and record our own material at a distance of some 200 miles.  More information about this EP is on http://www.tomcowley.supanet.com

GypsyKate @ Breary’s Court
An EP of songs written and recorded with Mike Lewis, an old friend.  Check out http://www.indiestore.com/gypsykate for tracks.

 

CD Single
Recorded at Soup Studios in London with son, Matt, arranging and producing the two tracks, and playing on them too.  These tracks also appear on my album: Access All Areas. You can hear track extracts on my Discography Page with details of how to buy on line.  Check out http://cdbaby.com/cd/cowley2 for more information about the album.

I have also composed the music for a Relaxation CD with more in the pipeline for next year.

 

Works In Progress
The Logic Suite – a Concerto for guitar
You can hear one complete section of this work on my Discography Page – Other by listening to Flight.  There are four parts to this work which will be available soon and for sale only by contacting me.

Mutual Energy
Tom and Alex are busy writing and recording a complete set of new songs at both GypsyKate and HUM Studios.  They are well on with it and it should be ready during the first half of 2008.

Inherited Memory – Recalled
This is a bit of a hybrid CD in so far as the original tracks from Inherited Memory are being re-mastered and re-recorded by Tom, with some added new bonus tracks to complete the album.  Hopefully, another GyspyKate release in 2008.

Reviews
From “The Link”
“ A CD EP from Billingham-based Tom Cowley recorded as a shout for joy after surviving radical cancer surgery and a long period of treatment.  Tom has been around for a while and this succinctly records his musical heritage – from the 6/8 balled “I Wanna Shout I’m Glad I’m Born” to the old school R&B of “Gloves In The Air”.  Tom’s talented son, Matt, plays too alongside Tom’s vocal and guitar work.  Highly recommended – songs from an unheralded local hero,”

“The Link” – ‘Mutual Energy – Released’
“Billingham’s Tom Cowley with friend of over 40 years, Ian Alexander based in Shrewsbury.  They record and perform together via the wonders of the internet.  ‘In The Meantime’ suggests Paul McCartney after a weekend with J.J.Cale.  Real strong pop groove with occasional blistering guitar breaks from Tom.”

 

From “Musician” – ‘Access All Areas’
“Straight ahead classic R&B tinged British Rock and Folk from veteran Tom who is a sterling worker for cancer charities.  Stockton-on-Tees based, he has written and produced all 10 instrumental and vocal tracks available on this entertaining CD.  Great stuff!”
