Crazy Quilt Bouquet (CQB)
were born in Nottingham UK in the late 90s then abandoned their hometown to take Devon by storm. It was raining heavily when they arrived.
They is actually really He and his unrealistic aim is to release his current music and entire back catalogue with massive publicity, reaching audiences worldwide to great acclaim. His alternative aim is to get heard by anyone who just might like what he does.
You will find loads of free music from CQB and his many imaginary friends via the linked sites on this page.
It's difficult to try and describe how something sounds & it's usually best to let the listener decide for themselves - but here's what a few people have said along the way:
"Summertime-Beer on the patio", "Lyrically sharp, witty and leftfield", "Melodic and catchy with a twist of lemon", "Ludicrous and intelligent", "Typically English", "Wonderfully quirky", "Skewy", "Defies categorisation really!".
Of course, you can make your own mind up - and it would be nice to know what you think.
There is a new 15 track Crazy Quilt Bouquet CD called hope so. It's being sold on a not-for-profit basis for only £3 including worldwide shipping with at least
£1 from each sale going to OXFAM .
You can order hope so now from this site.
hope so is a totally independent production, delivered on a fetching high quality black CD that comes in a plastic wallet with artwork.
There's a slightly desperate, somewhat nerdy and unnecessarily needy press release for you to peruse in the blog…

lucky / be careful what you wish for / new book / different world / war zone / ladie's man / mango lassie / e-motion / co-joined at the lips / appetite / mutt / france / ramble / change
