The time has come to retire this site, I'm going to be switching to a new Wordpress site that you can find here. I thought it was time for a change and Wordpress allows me to be more interactive - you can send me comments / ideas / recipes or whatever.
While you can still use the shop to buy cds, I'm going to be using Reverbnation as my store for selling the new album "Ghost Written Confessions" (which is half way through the mixing stage as we speak and should be out in May or thereabouts). Obviously you can still buy cds / downloads through the usual sites, iTunes, CDBaby, eMusic, Napster, Not Lame etc. Everything on this site will be archived, eventually.
Just a couple of final things - you can now actually access the shop pages for Mindfilming and Dreams of Educated Fleas on this site: I didn't realise there were problems with those pages before, but they're now tickety boo. Also, I've put the Dreams of Educated Fleas demo up on Reverbnation as a cheap download if you're interested!
So hopefully see you soon on the other site...

So all the recording is completed (bar a bit of percussion that David will take care of) and I can get on with chosing a name for the album and sorting out the artwork. It's the best album yet, no doubt - although the genre "powerpop" is beginning to feel more and more of an uncomfortable fit with each listen. Still I suppose that's for other people to judge. Can't wait to hear the mixes, probably in late November.

Just one more marathon session of vocal recording to do on Wednesday, then it goes off to New York to be mixed by David. Horns and Cello sounding fantastic.

The drums are recorded! Carl is an amazing drummer.

I know, I know it's been an age since the last update, but to be honest I'm sure you'd rather have the summary version than the long drawn out ramblings... You wouldn't? Tough. Anyway, in summary the 12 new songs that make up the new album are finally written (bar 3 sets of lyrics). The producer will be the rather talented and inspirational David Lawrie, whose left-field aural soundscapes are rather different than my genial homespun tunes, but of course that's what makes him the ideal choice. The recordings should take place over the summer, at a leisurely pace to enable me to watch as much of the World Cup as possible. The plan is to have a finished album by October, so you can expect it next year.
In the meantime, there's life in the old album yet. Radio Aire's 'Larry and Paul' will be playing "The Girl Who Broke Her Own Heart" on their "Leeds Music Scene Battle" section of their show this Sunday 11th around 9pm. There's a text vote, which I'll almost certainly lose, but feel free to prove me wrong!
More news in a decade - or sooner...
