Discography
February 2021: Here We Sit
In early 2019, he released a free album download of 3 acoustic tracks. Between late 2020 and early 2021, he released two songs and one instrumental as advance singles for his debut studio album Here We Sit, which he independently released on 20 February 2021 across all streaming platforms and on CD. A 10-track album of songs and instrumentals, which took the best part of 2 years to complete. A collection of tracks that are acoustic / rock / blues influenced and written across many years of a stop / start, love / hate relationship with music. All songs, lyrics, instruments, programming, mixing and mastering is by Noel.
“It’s absolutely the ray of hope we needed in what has proven to be a difficult year so far.”
September 2023: Can’t Get You Out Of My Head single
October 2023: The Kid In Me Single
November 2023: The Kid In Me
Late 2021 saw Noel commence work on his second album “The Kid In Me”. September 2023 saw him drop the first single, “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.” A month later, he followed it with the second single and title track, “The Kid In Me,” before releasing the full album in November on all streaming platforms and on CD. “The Kid In Me” is another 10 track album of songs and instrumentals recorded in Noels studio in Southampton, England. Again the sound is Acoustic / rock / blues, but this time with more of a emphasis on his rock influences. This album has allowed Noel to expand on his studio production and mastering techniques. Again, all songs, lyrics, instruments, programming, mixing and mastering is by Noel.
March 2026: Catch The Breeze single
May 2026: Waiting For A Friend single
TBA 2026: From Then To Here Album
And so to 2026 and a new album. The singles “Catch The Breeze” and “Waiting For A Friend” were both released in March and May 2026 respectively on all streaming platforms. Both are taken from the album “From Then To Here” which is the third release from Noel. What started off as a nice personal project to release an album onto the unsuspecting public, had now turned into a 3 album catalogue of acoustic / rock / pop songs. At the time of writing, there is no planned release date. But it will be 2026.
Another album of reflective, uplifting, acoustic rock / pop songs, all written, produced, mixed and mastered by Noel. This time he has kept with the usual formula but added a bit more of an upbeat, synth feel to the music. A reflective, uplifting acoustic‑rock album about letting go and stepping into a more hopeful version of yourself. At its heart, it’s an album about release, shedding doubt, embracing possibility, and trusting that life has a way of carrying you somewhere better if you’re brave enough to take a chance and go with it. The track captures several moments where Noel stops fighting the wind and starts moving with it.
The CD is now available for pre-order from the store.
Noel is also working alongside Voice FM in Southampton creating jingles for advertising on the station.
