Julestone combine the accomplished lead vocals of Jules Varley and expert pianist, guitarist and vocalist Tony Cliff and together they perform jazz, blues, soul and acoustic music specialising in recording projects. Their 2015 CD recording Anyway features 12 original songs ranging from blues to ballads, funky grooves to acoustic styles and orchestral to jazz. Whilst Jules is the main vocalist on the album Tony takes up lead vocals on several songs and vocal harmony is a constant theme throughout.

I have been collaborating with US lyricist Donna Evans and writing an album of new country-blues songs called Waiting in the Wings which was released in Sept 2018. It has been exciting to work with such a talented US co-writer as this gives me a different perspective especially beneficial for country songs. I have produced and arranged all the music as well as playing guitar and keyboards. Below are a few song excerpts to sample from the album which I hope you'll enjoy. The album is available on all the major streaming sites such as Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music as well as the digital download sites such as bandcamp, iTunes and Amazon mp3.
