'KIEL' free download and limited CD-r now available

A recording from my concert at Prinz Willy in Kiel, Germany on the 25th of November is now available for everyone through my Bandcamp as a full quality download and also as a very simple, physical edition on CD-r.

This was a nice evening for me, with a quiet audience and a great sound in the little place. I worked on the recording the past weekend and I think it turned out ok, perhaps the best sounding concert I've had for a while.

'Winter' by The Diamond Family Archive (free download)

Winter is indeed upon most of us and yesterday I slipped and sloshed through the first snow I’ve seen fall. I’m home for a few days and reflecting and listening on what I’ve been making the last weeks. To start with, here’s a couple of things around a song by The Diamond Family Archive that I’ve been playing in the recent concerts.

At Prinz Willy’s wonderful corner bar in Kiel I played a rather quieter concert that was very enjoyable. Held the songs close and tried not to let things get too loud or unhinged. By the end of the night I was fit to burst and sure enough lashed out a bit at some innocent members of the nice audience. Apologies and whiskies went some way to fixing things, as is often the case.

Anyway, here’s from earlier in the set - ‘Winter’ by The Diamond Family Archive played spontaneously and a little wobbly true enough.

And here’s Laurence’s original, spectral version to listen and download:

Years ago in Brighton we even played it together:

I urge you all to go and listen to more music by this band, always so magic.
