The Incredible Flight of Birdman

About Me

Until fairly recently, The Incredible Flight of Birdman was a song-writing partnership between two University friends who lived in distant lands; occasional sojourns focused on writing and recording songs to act as surrogate children and keep them company during the fallow periods when they were apart. Some of these songs have been uploaded for casual adoption.

The Birds have since relocated and been joined by two more friends. They now straddle the neighbouring counties of Essex and Cambridge and will be playing as many gigs and recording as many new songs in 2009 as possible. New recordings are in the process of being mixed and mastered and will be uploaded soon.
