Expect British guitar based indie-pop - from Teenage
Fanclub to UK Squeeze via Britpop of all types from
this Australian based, but British born
singer-songwriter.
Simon Morel's second record, intelligently dubbed

with story based songwriting. Produced by Michael

February.
His debut CD "Songs from the City" was called "a
