The new Sky Patterns album 'Night Call' is out now.
An album that reaches deep into nocturnal territory — a world of half-spoken fears, flickering thoughts, and the uneasy sense of life seen through dim light
Extremely limited CD available from:

I performed an impromptu afternoon set on Sunday in Staffordshire, playing a bunch of new songs.
Thanks so much to the host, Julie, for allowing me to play her guitar, and such a wonderful crowd of people listening.

4. The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls
This was a simple idea. My Father is 90 years old, and I have precious few recordings of him. It's funny how we go through life taking photos, particularly on our phones, but rarely record sound, even when the conversation is interesting. 1/3

3. Colours Of Our Day (Remix)
The inclusion of a 'remix' is arguably sometimes an excuse for a record label to extend a band's catalogue, though it really came into its own in the '90s when dance music came to the fore. 1/4

2. The Ill Wind
Since the release of the album, I've been busy beavering away on a bunch of new songs. 'The Ill Wind' was penned with this in mind, but somehow it just doesn't fit quite right amongst the other songs, and better suits the feel of the 'Answers On A Postcard' 1/2

My 'Shoreline' EP is released tomorrow. Here are a few thoughts on each of the songs:

Around twelve months ago, I was invited to perform at a festival and wanted to write something special for the set. Around two weeks before the gig, I came up with the chord 1/4
