i like to think i have a more than healthy disregard for jack johnson .
i have a brand new ep nearly finished, to be released in the late autumn. in the meantime, my home recorded ep (featuring the one-off national geographic cover art) can now be bought through paypal, so it saves hassles with cheques and post and all that. as before, its £3 only (including postage, and the 20p paypal charge me...bastards), and features these tracks: 1) a red heron 2) paper ships 3) domino 4) i remember when this was all fields 5) there will 6) the acid test 7) tipping in 8) the wicker basket 9) the tinderstruck fields: all wrapped up safe and sound and sent out asap. click on this button:
im luckly enough to play with a lot of talented and inspiring people. i play banjo and melodica in the great bear and play/ruin a few other edinburgh act's live shows with off key warblings. there's a lot of good stuff going on in edinburgh currently, have a look at fife kills and tracer trails
The tracks here are all first takes, all the first or second recording immediately after writing the song, or live stuff. I like that best, it's the essence of the song, even if they are scratchy and have a few slips in them. I think it's important not to lose that initial spark, to package and rejig the new ideas you have, and so these are the recordings I'm most proud of.
I also have a couple of older and live(r) tracks here:little lamp records
and here:
fife kills
and videos of 'a red heron' and 'which time to see her' (a great bear cover), recorded live at the penicuik arts centre on the 31st march 2007 here:
a red heron

which time to see her
