MUSIC                                

Between 1991 and 1996 I recorded 3 CDs, one with Tim Wheater, the illustrious flautist.

Some RealAudio clips are included as indicated. These are fragments of long pieces of music and to give you an idea of how the music sounds.   I have also reduced them to Mono to increase download speed. All CDs copyright Nick Franks and other writers where indicated. All rights retained.

If you wish to buy one of these CDs please contact me or see BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE.
