Nought but a junkyard orchestra to begin with. Nobody ever knew, how could they forget?
But forget they did.
If the Black Carrot Secret Orchestra had a skill between them it was that of being forgotten, yet the ghosts of their music continue to surface. Etched wax-cylinder-like into the surface of that most singular of root vegetables, the Black Carrot.
Since the turn of the last century they have appeared in unexpected places to unexpected persons, though a thick fog rests upon the history of this singularly unspectacular phenomenon. Sundry details do actually exist but are simply too dreary to recount here.
At an unspecified date somewhere around 1988 it fell upon the hapless heart and ears of the author, Mr J. E. Stewart , then but a slender child, to receive numerous dubious and monotonously uncalled-for Orchestral donations. He has been receiving them ever since, yet has only recently given in entirely. He now curates the Black Carrot Secret Orchestra's catalogue and can be found supping at twilight, most days of the year, on a very dour and dusky stew. He has even been known to appear as a vocalist in their recent offerings, though he claims that he can only have contributed in his sleep.

Whatever happened to Adam & Vallery Hopeless on track eleven was obviously meant to be (if anything to do with this orchestra could be described as 'meant to be').

Addendum:
To those folks who are unhinged enough to request CD recordings of these vile, limping 'musics.' Firstly; what's wrong with you? Secondly; I will, as curator of the Black Carrot Secret Orchestra's Catalogue, endeavour to put something together in the near(ish) future. For now, be patient and perhaps seek help. I will be sure and let you all know when something's been cooked up in a shiny little disk shaped pot (I do actually have better things to do, you know? Much better things).
