A little while ago when I first started making music I was part of a collective called museum.  We all started learning production together and co produced a compilation called Museum.  My productions were under the name of the Hermit.  It’s a name which some friends condone but which confound many others, however regardless of how suitable people find it,  everyone seems to find it entertaining which I take some small comfort in.  The other inmates where 3rd Party, Keno1, the Contortionist & Art and Craft.  Art and Craft now runs a site called the black arts library, and low an behold you can now download the original museum compilation free of charge there.    He asked me to tell you so please have a look here….

This May 8th I’m happy to say a version of the Nostalgia 77 band will be performing music from the new LP Smile by my Skeletons project.  To help me celebrate we’re going to have Larry ‘ stonephace ‘ stabbins on board for a few of our tunes and he’s promised to bring some of his own Stonephase tunes for us to play.   We’re also happy to announce we’ll also be joined by Jeb Loy Nichols.  I was lucky enough to help Jeb produce his recent LP, Strange Faith and Practice.  As such some of his songs feel close to my heart and I think will fit right in along side the skeleton’s and stonephase’s repetoire.  Expect some dark psychedelic jazz and spirited story telling.

Support on the night comes from DJ Natural Self who will be diggin jazz for us in between our show and a warm up appearance by Lizzy Parks in an acoustic duo.

Check out a free download from the LP on the skeletons bandcamp page.

Tickets are available from ticketweb. It’s an AGMP concert.
