Promoting a show for Tennessee 12 string innovator Joseph Allred in Bingley on 1st Nov!! This is going to be killer, it's part of his mammoth EU / UK tour!

There'll be a set from myself plus an experimental set from ADRA.

All this in the upstairs room of a proper little West Yorkshire boozer.

Marc Brierley - Dragonfly

A tune released on 7" via Transatlantic Records when Marc was 21, recorded by Nathan Joseph and with a cover photo from the legendary (and sadly recently departed) Brian Shuel.

Hope you enjoy! The guitar is tuned DADGBD and I have a TAB too, find via YouTube. Cheers! ✌️

Heard my first skylark of the year this morning, pelting out its arias from a hundred feet up or so; the song that lifts the heart as it falls.

Jim Ghedi - Wasteland album cover. Ghedi sat on a chair in a quarry overlain with psychedelic pink and red

'Ghedi’s combination of intensity and sublimity recalls Lankum to some extent, but there's something more earthen to Ghedi’s work – the horrific, terrifying beauty of a collapsing planet, turned into sound.'
