Dad of two fabulous boys and husband to my legendary wife, Rhian. Burning Ferns bass player, largely found at the back of photos.
Love this one. But no one else seemed to. My finger, as ever, is not on the pulse
🎧 Til Tomorrow. Song 11 off World Of The Wars. Us at our most POP! Was almost thrown on the scrap heap but was saved by the addition of its gently, wobbly keyboard intro

Volume 4 of Have Yourself A Merry Indie Christmas (all proceeds to Crisis at Christmas) featuring Grandaddy, The Raveonettes, The Lucksmiths, & The Orchids is out to the usual sensational reviews. This is the peerless @xmasunderground.bsky.social take -

A bit early but the wife insisted. Looks good though

An absolute banger. Love this tune
🎧 It’s About Time. Song 7 off World Of The Wars. The first recorded during 2020’s lockdown and showed us that remote recording could work. A live banger too. Credit to Beulah, for lending us their riff…

🎧 Here’s our last album World of the Wars on Spotify. The cover art was created by #Chicago & #Newport artist / #JohnnyCash portrait painter / Mekons #punk legend Jon Langford.

You could argue it’s a lockdown / culture wars concept album. You could also not argue.

This is two weeks today @lepub.bsky.social. It’s going to be a fantastic day of bands in Newport which, given the terrible news about the Moon in Cardiff closing, is fighting the good fight for live music @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social

🎧 Bank Of No. Song 5 off World Of The Wars, a jaunty number about the credit economy. Remote recording was tough for our rhythm section, Erik and Brych, but they aced it. This is a fine example.

🎧 Frustration. Song 4 off World Of The Wars and a three minute pop song inspired by lockdown. Some typically understated brilliance from Abo, and Dave’s harmonies are a thing of beauty

Television. Bloody, Television!
So, after much searching today I played "Oh No ! Bonobo" by Burning Ferns @burningferns.bsky.social on YT it has less than 100.

Loved it, kept me guessing all the way through, great interplay between the instruments, reminded me of #Television a bit (a good thing).

"You think Julian Cope is crazy? He’s crazy like a fox"

Happy 40th birthday to "Fried".

The waking hours are the loneliest ones
Let’s be upfront and honest – in 1984 nobody gave a toss about Julian Cope.That’s a little bit unfair, there were a few fans out there turning up for his low key tour in the Sprin…

You Won’t See Me is my happy place.
Here's a little something I made to sing us off to bed this Monday evening. The Beatles You Won't See Me isolated vocals in stereo. I blather on and on about how lush the vocal harmonies are on this album & this is a prime example: 3 tracks of vocals on a 4-track tape. youtu.be/VtzjnlfzzDo

🎧 Oh No Bonobo is the 3rd track off World Of The Wars. A song about toxic masculinity using apes as the metaphor. Musically it’s got all sorts, and is almost funky (at least for us)

🎧 Tell Me something I Don’t Know. 2nd song off World Of The Wars and one that actually benefitted from the Covid induced remote recording process. Reverse engineering this to play live was HARD!

🎧 200 new followers in 2 days which is great. Rather than spam the whole album, we thought we’d break it down. Here’s the de facto title track of World of the Wars, “We’re In The Wars”

Hello to all our new followers - lovely to have you on board. Last show of the year announced in Newport on Saturday 7th December. A ridiculously good line up to start the festive season with a bang

So my first post of a nice mountain and a sheep got a lot of love. Let’s see what the Blue Sky take on my dog, Tiny, is. I do this before returning to tedious reposts of my band’s upcoming gigs.

Having to start all over again is a bit of an arse but hopefully I’ll not any get random videos of people beating each other up. In that spirit here’s a soothing landscape from my travels around Abergavenny the other day. And a sheep

My mob, Burning Ferns, at rehearsal. We rock. Properly
