About Me

Conjured in the mind of Cpt. Canaday back in 2002, The Cooling Pearls have been written on his jeans ever since. These intervening years have been filled with hope, very drunk ambition, and solo material. All talk and no bite, they say. True, he says.But now, with the help of some great friends, the courageous Aiden Canaday fights forth into the night. The core members include Alex Pratchett, who plays football and guitar like Lionel Messi, his lover and wonderful musician Sian Lloyd Williams, and our art God Tom Milnes, who combine to make these songs you’re listening to. With further assistance from the beautiful Sarah Arnold and Annie Lancaster, they feel it’s worth it.Their intention is to romance a thousand souls and set the world on fire. Friends and lovers, let’s set the world alight.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Hello, it's been a while. Six months or the like. A neat six months with a cupla house parties played, a wee solo set, Cat Matador collaborations, a new National album, and 20 goals scored. Alex ...
