Today I would say that Im more of a songwriter than a performer, although I do sing with a sixties rock and roll band in Denmark where I have been living since 1985.
I was born i London but grew up in Lancashire somewhere between Liverpool and Manchester.
I served my apprenticeship as a musician/singer in the Working Mens Clubs of Britain.
Later I had a humble success with a band called Silhouette which involved touring the most of western Europe.
Today I live with my wonderful wife, Trine on the island of Sjælland in Denmark (about an hours drive from Copenhagen)

Story behind the song
I bought a slide....messed around with a George Harrison-type solo, jotted down some lyrics and then sent the whole thing off to my friend Steve Sledge who read my mind as far as production goes! Thanks Steve!
Lyrics
Give Me A Reason To Leave, This Time
Copyright © 2007 Andy Goggin
Sung and produced by Steve Sledge
The pain I caused runs down your cheek, The slamming doors, my fighting streak
And though you’re used to me leaving you
It breaks this heart of mine
So won’t you give me a reason to leave you, this time
Oh Please!
Give me a reason, give me a reason , a reason to leave you this time
Give me a reason, I need a reason, a reason to leave you this time
My bags are packed, the taxi’s here, but I can’t say goodbye
So give me a reason to leave you, this time
You say you might be over me, you think that time could set you free
Well that might be true, but I can’t seem to
Get you off of my mind
So won’t you give me a reason to leave you, this time
Oh Please!
Give me a reason, give me a reason , a reason to leave you this time
Give me a reason, I need a reason, a reason to leave you this time
My bags are packed, the taxi’s here, but I can’t say goodbye
So give me a reason to leave you, this time
Time heals everything, that’s what the wise men say
But right now I’d do anything
If you’d only let me stay!
Give me a reason, give me a reason , a reason to leave you this time
Give me a reason, I need a reason, a reason to leave you this time
My bags are packed, the taxi’s here, but I can’t say goodbye
So give me a reason to leave you, this time
Hi Andy, this is a lovely song. Great vocals and catchy melody, it has a slight country feel to it, excellent! Leaving stars and wishing you all the very best Love Hayley
