The Ian Rae Collection - The Later Years
Having been asked to write a number of Christmas Carols for use at the St Andrews School annual Carol Service I soon had enough to produce an album. "Sing Everyone Sing"
Sing Everyone Sing * Little Child Why Because It's Christmas
The Sound of Distant Laughter Child In A Manger Traveller
Tell Out My Soul Sleep Till Morning Light Don't Be Afraid
Where Is The Wonder The Child Has Been Born Time to Follow the Star
Go to Sleep My Child How Still You Lie
Since I spend much of my time playing jazz it is only right that I include some jazz, including "The Pliable, Reliable Freedom Pass"
Nobody Wants You When You're Old The Pliable Reliable Freedom Pass
The Rainbow is Just a Shade of Grey *
March 2012 saw my grandson, Dylan's first birthday and to celebrate the occasion these two baby songs were written
Soapy Bubbles in my Bath Superbaby
In 2012 in collaberation with Chris Chambers "Olympus The Musical" was produced and staged at the Ahcroft Theatre, Fairfield Halls in Croydon and at the Minack Theatre in Cornwall to coincide with the arrival of the Olympic Flame. Although an unknown musical - based on an unknown story it made a profit and was watched by 4000
Faster Higher Stronger Olympus Till the Morning Breaks Once Again
The Games Asclepiosity If I Could Talk To You
You Are the Air I Breathe Is There No One Here? Can You Explain?
Where Do I Go From Here? How Many Dreams Did I Have? Where's Our Happy Ending?
Take A Memory of Me No Place To Run A Billion Flames
Carry The Torch / There's a Light
Following the success of Olympus I wrote, with the help of Gee Rook, the follow up "I Hate Musicals" which was staged successfully in Nov/Dec 2000 - and it made a profit!
We're Poor Look Out Look Out I Hate Musicals
Drink With Me Evil's In the Air Tonight Love Is In the Air Tonight
I'll Wake Your World Dancing In the Pale Moonlight A Place of Our Own
Just Turn Around We'll Put An End To Dracula I Vonted Partz
Finally, just a few demo versions of songs from "The Big Deal" co-written with Steve Humfress. This show, all about a computer salesman in the 1990s who sells his soul to the devil, has not yet been staged
They Like Me Eternity Time to End the Deal
Hanging On From Today Don't Know What I'd
Do Without Him
