Fire Escape
Originally released in an edition of just 20 CD’s in March 2008, and unavailable since then, ‘Fire Escape’ is a mini-album of six songs, including the 12 minute ‘I Will See Myself Out’. Recorded in a couple of different Brighton rooms, including the basement of an Oxfam shop, this features Sam Collins on electric guitar on most tracks. A loose, scrappy little set of songs recorded and released within a matter of days.
'Fire Escape' has now been remastered and the download includes new linear notes. All subscription releases are also available during the month they come out as limited CD-r editions which I personalise and will send to you where ever you are.
'Ballard' now available
November’s monthly release is the complete set of pieces I improvised and recorded for the ‘Biest Liest’ book club episode about JG Ballard.

My 25th subscription release is now available
A live recording from a few weeks ago in Hamburg is now available through my Bandcamp and Patreon subscriptions. ‘Cafe Feuerwache 2’ is a return to the old house in Altona where I first played in November last year and from which a recording is also available. This was a very enjoyable, relaxed night and I think the set came out grand.

CD-r and digital download of 'The Groninger Museum' available now
The physical edition of the 23rd subscription release ‘The Groninger Museum’ is available now and throughout April. If you would like a copy of this please subscribe through my Bandcamp or Patreon site before the end of the month.
Spaces for this are limited as I make each copy myself. The discs are hand stamped and each typed sleeve personalised for you and this takes me a fair bit of time each month. Digital editions of each release are always available to subscribers but the CD-r edition is limited to about 30 copies.
Thanks to everyone who goes for these - I’m sending them out now and again at the end of the month for anyone new that signs up.

'Luck Is Cruelty On The Wind' (Cafe Feuerwache)
