Birds In The Brickwork T-shirt now up on Bandcamp.
It's an 'open order' and will go into production when the target amount is reached (hopefully over the weekend)
I'll get the blue as close to the mockup as possible, I promise!

I'm in Wheaton Aston this week, recording some music for myself and also for Siân Macfarlane aka SWLLWS.
I took a walk today, on a route I've taken thousands of times, taking some pics on my phone & recording some rambling.
It'll become a mini-'podcast' on my Patreon very soon...
