In the Duck Shed
My first album, released in 2000. Still a sentimental favourite for many folks. On the new Shallow Sea album I tried to return to some of the free flowing song-writing of this album.
I'm often asked why most tunes from 'In the Duck Shed' are not available in tablature. The reason is that it was my first recording and used a lot of very strange "one-off" tunings. Here is a list of the tunes and their capo-positions for those curious enough to have a crack at them:

| Wintergreen | DADGAD | 2 |
| Smithy's Porridge | FA#DFCD | 4 |
| Wormwood Scrubs | DADGAD | 3 |

| Lonely Train | DADF#AD | 2 |
| The Lazy Farmer | EGDGBD | 3 |
| Purple Turtle | DADGAD | 2 |
| Lakes Entrance | DADF#AD | 3 |
