About Me

To Cure a Broken Heart is the sole ambition of its founder, Jon Eckersley. Borne out of the love for writing passionate, involving and inciteful music. The music is a simple blend of piano, acoustic guitar and lilting harmonies with engaging lyrics and electronic influences.

I've also had some recent radio play on Huw Stephen's show on Radio 1, and some lip service from Steve Lamacq. Hurrah for that!

Thankyou for all your kind emails and comments about the music. I didn't anticipate such a good reaction, which is really heart warming.

I have less than 10 of the original 100 copies left for sale, and I won't be printing another run, so act quickly! These are 4 pounds each - delivery works out at 1 pound and 3p, so it's 5 quid for a delivered copy to the UK.

The EP has the three tracks, plus original printed front and back art in a jewel case.

I'm accepting cheques, and now also paypal. Please email directly on here for my paypal address, or for posting a cheque. If you need it sending internationally, I'm happy to send it, if you're happy to pay the postage :-)

Thanks again :-)

Jon.

Produced by Kevin Rowe at Clear Tone Audio, Bath.

Mastered at Soundmasters International, London.

I have also now completed 29 and an 1/8th of my 101 things! 20 are currently being worked on. Please read my blog for details.
