An exciting development! I’ve finally gotten around to listening properly to the recordings Marc Reck made of my solo concert at the Old Joint Stock Theatre in Birmingham in Sept 07 – and theyre not half bad.
Ive also got to grips with some nice easy to use audio editing software and the result is that I am now able to make public for the first time ever … (drum roll pls!) … a recording of one my songs. By which I mean a tune with vocals and lyrics as opposed to the piano instrumentals that comprise Valentine Court.
The track is “Sucking Up” – a gently melancholic number with – by my standards – some pretty nice lyrics on the theme of healing and self discovery. The end section should hopefully leave you with a warm feeling.
In celebration of my new musician page on Facebook, I’ve made the track available exclusively there, so please vsit my page and have a listen.
Well, I hope you enjoy it. Do feel free to let me know if you do.
big love

Love your stuff Rich, I remember you from a band called Serene Machine.
Also loved that Indie band you were in when I saw you at The Jug of Ale,Maroon? Shame it didn’t last. Do you have any downloads of your “old” work?
Hi Clive
many thanks for your message – Im replying here cos I emailed you, but it bounced back (quota full).
glad you liked Maroon, like you say, shame we didnt make more of a go of it, but thats life.
we never recorded much either – just a three track demo quite early on, then a few goes late on where the standard of the recording wasnt up to sharing, tho its nice that the songs still exist in that way
theyre all on casette tho – one day I’ll get them digitised tho
if youd be up for joining my mailing list here then I can let you know
all the best
Rich
