This means the world for a self-released record! 🙏🏻
My heartfelt thanks to you all for listening, playing and supporting.
Your love for the music really helps
🌱⚡️
Just an appreciation to how good
@Bandcamp
is when finding new music
Not just the financial positives but to read all the credits and background to the record too
It’s invaluable for all those involved when making … and then listening… and then writing about music 🎶
It’s important to share this widely, and say to anyone in the music industry that has experienced it
You are not alone
Thank you

The voice of Delia Derbyshire!
‘Unheard Delia', is a new exclusive 7” for
@ElectronicMagUK
which includes extracts from an unheard interview with Delia in early 2000, around 18 months before she died
An honour to edit, score & produce this 10min piece⚡️
So
@Hanpeel
didn't win the Mercury Prize...
But an electronic album created independently, on her own label, without compromise, infused with the spirit of Delia Derbyshire. Just seeing her in the short list was inspiration to every independent artist out there.

Once met someone very famous to talk about potentially arranging strings for their album
After some chat, they asked what music I made, so I told them about this record..
“Why the fuck would you do that?”

Happy release day!! 💙💗💚💛❤️
Had a few folk asking...
The reality:
I had some lovely offers to play various EU countries & couldn’t take any due to the costs
The state of touring now is so extreme that even with these UK shows planned, I personally earn £0 at the end
And the venue fees are decent!
I only got to meet him once at
@PortEliotFest
but he was the first person to play my first home recordings of Blue Monday on music box in his sets
It was a huge deal at the time
Eternally grateful
