About Me

repeat:no-repeat; Maudlin Rich creates music for delectation, inspiration, solace and succour. Oh, and distraction. Making up songs and singing them, for your own pleasure, and maybe someone else's - it seems the only dec ad ent thing left to do. Maudlin Rich hails from Antwerp, but is firmly rooted on Merseyside now. For now. Thanks for visiting, listening, commenting. I like you already.
