At the best all the rest are just 'also rans'

About Me

The Fabulous Artisans is a collaboration between Oscar and BAFTA award winning actor, former stand-up comic and singer Neil Crossan (see also Joe Lacy's Human Abstract ) and songwriter, singer, multi instrumentalist and producer Jeremy Thoms (see also Skyline, The Cathode Ray and solo). With a sound fed from Wilson to Walker, Bacharach to Barry, Brel to Bowie and Ennio to Edwyn, these are timeless songs for or from any era... The debut album "...From Red To Blue" is due for release on the Swedish label Bendi Records on October 27th, 2008, preceeded by three fortnightly singles: "Return (Lord I Can't)" (15/09/08), "Sycamore Square" (29/09/08) and "Say Hello To The Summer" (13/10/08).
