Thank you Marty, but not by deliberate design. This is a comment I’ve received for my songs since joining and posting to this forum. My early influences were The Beatles, Queen, The Sweet, ELO, Simon and Garfunkel, The Kinks, Nick Lowe etc, so I guess it is bound to come out. Being a UK immigrant to Australia probably also means my accent supports this. I have always set out to write strong melodies and use progressions that stray from the diatonic with borrowed chords, so that may sound Beatlesque. This also influences my lead and bass guitar work which I prefer to write in the form of melody rather than purely harmonic support.
