The Squat Of Islington

On leaving the ye olde cheshire cheese due to horrific hours.. we constructed a squat off amwell street in islington..... here's me, rob jesse  and a very drunk charlotte. 

A Vacant Day

here is a little vid for a song i wrote, it was completed during the week in paris, but started..
in regents park london..

Ye Shall Be Free

here's a little demo of a song 'ye shall be free" ..
 the video doesn't make any sense just little random bits off the desk top.. 
hope ya like the song...

Death Of A Troubadour


Here's a little video knock together in montmarte, north of paris.. the song is  "death of a troubadour"...  
is on the bottle & bread disc, although i think, its a different version...  but never the less here it is .

The Ballad Of Thomas Chatterton


Here's a song from the bottle and bread demo disc, the ballad of thomas chatterton, i wrote the song whilst living and working upstairs at the ye olde cheshire cheese fleet street, the picture of thomas chatterton is by henry wallis, and hangs in the national gallery london...... since seeing it and reading his poetry and learning of his death was inspired to write this for him.  byron, keats and shelly made him their martyr for the romantics ........... the di dily di it at the end is from his poem x

Here's the cover of the demo disc bottle & bread, get in touch if you'd like a copy,
the songs are rough and ready recorded on an acoustic guitar in a squat in islington, london.
It took two days to get the songs down and i was happy to finally just put them on a disc, having carried them round in my head for two years.   
the cover design is by kathryn jefferson.. all songs are written by myself.
