We all do other things these days... but every so often, we can't resist getting together to make that noise again. This three nighter is happening in 2026, and we'll be playing a different set every night. Tickets here:

Excellent review of the Penrose Web album here from Stephen Morris. I don't think we realised we were making a lyrically dark album, but the evidence is all there! Available from Bandcamp now...

I've never posted anything like that. I suspect it's too many links to sites where people can buy our records. Far more serious! But who can really tell what the bots take exception too.
Are you still reviewing records? (I suspect you know where this is heading...)

And you! Nope, nothing's changed. Did an appeal at the time and I've had the same notification ever since. They even sent an email to say complete the appeal to get back on, with a convenient link straight back to the page saying I'm suspended and need to wait for the result. I've given up, TBH.

The Penrose Web: The Least of Our Concerns - Album Review The ghosts of Gurney Slade, Reggie Perrin and Stanley Moon inhabit quite a few of the songs on The Penrose Web debut LP.

Fantastic review of the album by Ged Babey on Louder Than War.

The path to The Penrose Web started when I stumbled across Ian's Papernut Cambridge albums a few years ago. The original material was great, but the Nutlets covers albums were equally special. Great versions of songs lurking in the slightly darker corners of my childhood memories... tune in tonight!

Gutted to miss this, but we're going to see Stewart Lee that night. At least we'll still be enjoying something brilliant, but still... have a great night!

Had a Facebook account since 2010. Suspended for no adequately explained reason on June 3rd. That's the way the Meta bots work. Appealed, but this is the friendly welcome when I log in now. I'm sure this happens to 1000s of people every day. Summary injustice administered by implacable coding.

Our debut album is out on Friday, and we're doing one of those Listening Party things on Bandcamp at 7pm. I can exclusively reveal in advance that I've already heard it several times, it's very good indeed and you should definitely buy it.

Well, this is great.
The work of Crockford & Button, suppliers of quality recordings since 1982.
'In Her Darkened Room' , a title that Brian Wilson would have appreciated.
