Revised edition of  Witchkitchen  mid-1990s cassette. 



The Teledu "Witchkitchen" home-recorded cassette release (see above) of about 50 minutes duration I have come to find satisfactory for the most part but needing some alterations. Seems to have a tiny cult following esp. in the USA for a start so perhaps some sales in there !. Having kept many of the original 4-track tapes recorded for the album there also still exist other compatible songs recorded at the same sessions that I would like to put in some of  instead and also to increase the overall length of the album. 

HX project.  'NG' was a project I began to assemble post 2000, based on the entity that is Nottingham city, in its myriad aspects eg. soliciting recordings of what people liked about Nottingham.  I'd already made and recorded a song called 'In  Nottingham' in 1994 and used 2 field recordings of many recorded by me, incorporating them into tracks and had been doing some filming in the area.  Quite a lot of  similar activity has happened in the HX postcodes between 2004 to the present that I intend to make into something.

Piano Stuff  Since the early 1980s if there's been a recording device at hand I've been sometimes recording my noodling about and so forth on, indeed sometimes inside of the instrument. Now it seems time to; put together an album or two from the archived material.


It is in 2018 this. In Wessex. I was about to disintegrate in some ways.  Not my favourite keyboard, very bright sound & quite stiff to depress keys.

Soiling Charge   A revised version of the 2011 album of Yorkshire Psychedelia is something I've long wanted to do due to it having some potential but being insuffiently mixed and edited before its quite rushed release.

Guitar Stuff

Since the mid 1990s I've been sometimes recording my strumming about and so forth on both the acoustic and electric versions of the  instrument, as well as occasionally making up vocals to go with it, pretty much on the spot. So really it seems time to put together an album or two from the archived material.

Also I'm trying to finish some of my own new songs. Sometimes one needs deadlines ! 
I've now nearly completed handmade unique to each copy cover artwork to a couple of hundred CD cases, eventually to be released.
