We asked Josh Paine-Lewis to take some photos for our new EP ‘Day Became You’, which is due for release this month, and he took some fantastic photos for us today…Not only that but he created this new live video of one of the songs ‘Day Became You’ at the same time!..We like it a lot. Thank you, Josh! https://www.facebook.com/filthyfiendproductions/videos/1346593855413024/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE …

Simon and I travelled up to Manchester last week to record a new EP with producer, Nigel Stonier, who has collaborated with some of my major musical influences, including Mike Scott from The Waterboys. Séadna McPhail was engineering and we managed to complete the three track EP in three days. We are currently going through the mixing phase and we plan to have a new release to share in the early part of 2017. Very exciting times.

Simon and I will be heading north to Manchester in a few weeks time, at the beginning of December, to record a new EP…Very excited…
