Bringing In The May
Tomorrow on the first day of May I shall be celebrating the coming of summer by travelling to Hastings for a Memory Band rehearsal with @oliebricebass and @hannahdeliacaughlin Work on both our new live set and recordings continues apace. The blossoms are out and the swifts returning. It will also be Bandcamp Friday and in our continuing quest for funds there will be a 20% discount on all sales from our page and an additional discount on downloads of our entire discography.. just use the code 'maypole' at the checkout.
Many thanks
Stephen
Yesterday was one of those days. A morning walk through one of my favourite parts of London to a rehearsal listening to a voice that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Then home in the afternoon to hear a piano part for a recording which changes the entire way i think about a melody. The blossoms are out, the swifts returning.
Kind words from @dorsetjonw in his new book 'The Tattooed Hills: Journeys to Chalk Figures' out now via @quartobooksuk
Because I'm a vain cat I jumped to this section but I'm looking forward to poring over the whole volume very slowly, at first glance it seems full of marvellous details about the magic and mystery of these magnificent monuments.
Our music gets a mention in a wonderful piece by @dorsetjonw for @guardian today about walking the landscapes of the chalk figures of England.. Jon's book 'The Tattooed Hills: Journeys to Chalk Figures' is out now.
