Dan Cardwell

A writer/performer of stand-up, plays, scripts (and books) - but music is his first love. Unfortunately, having no talent for singing or instruments (even after lessons), Dan originally was writing for long retired bands and has spent his time since looking for the Elton to his Bernie but to no avail. Until he came across this site - at last a place where his lyrics could potentially be discovered.
