IVAN'S MUSIC
All tracks were written and recorded between the late 1980's and early 1990's.
3 mates from school with aspirations in rock'n'roll started jamming in our garages
and writing songs together. We called ourselves Cobra Dane (apparently - according to Dave)
this was the name of a spy island in the Pacific, and the name appealed.
Eventually, we found other interests, but managed to record a number of tunes,
collectively and individually. Mark and Dave still have an amateur interest in playing
and recording; whilst I am happy to continue as a music fan, unencumbered by
my former obsession with being able to play and write like my musical heroes.
This page is here mainly for posterity and nostalgia. But I like to think that my lyrics
contain a message and a vibe and ethos that I have continued to respect and try to honour
in my work as a writer.
