The following two songs titled <strong>&#8220;Not mine, not yours&#8221;<\/strong> and <strong>\u201cAccept&#8221;<\/strong> are written based of songwriting with melody and chord changes respectively in mind. All the songs were also recorded live with <strong>Nathan<\/strong>,<strong> Hamish<\/strong> and <strong>Lewis<\/strong>. Finally Thank you to <strong>Molly Rose Duggan<\/strong> for creating the amazing cover art for the EP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist bio Patrick is a contemporary guitarist, musician, composer and sound designer.
