First images from the "Briars Frome" dig site

Well we've finally got our first glimpse of how things are going at the newly discovered Briars Frome dig site, these images have been released by the University of East Anglia and are intriguing to say the least! These pictures raise so many questions...but for now we'll have to make do with the below photographs as the UEA are not responding to requests for more information at this stage...













I will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as frequently as possible, in the interim if anyone has any theories, especially regarding those buried "boxes", then please leave a comment below...

Incredible New Chapter in the story of "Briars Frome"

 ...several archeologists and researchers for the University of East Anglia have been looking into the stories and myths that surround the "dissapearing" Norfolk village of Briars Frome. The trail has led them to a remote piece of Norfolk forest (the exact location remains a secret for now) where they have uncovered several astounding finds, including buried hauls of photographs, documents and various artefacts as well as physical evidence that proves that there was indeed a village there at some point until very recently. The finds are being catalogued and are provoking a great deal of discussion among historians and scholars. So far very few details have emerged about what it is that has been found but a few select photos have been revealed with more expected to follow. 

I will endeavour to follow this story very closely and keep this blog up to date on the latest news....

Ferlin Husky - Boulevard of Broken Dreams

The song "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" has always been one of my favourites, it manages to capture that feeling of walking around town (in this case Paris) in the dead of night, lost in a world of heartbreak watching the seedier side of life going on all around you and feeling like that is now where you belong....

The song was written in 1933 for the movie "Moulin Rouge" by Harry Warren and Al Dubin and has been recorded by many, many people (Probably the most famous being Tony Bennett) and I have managed to collect a fair few versions over the years....but this one has to be my favourite, not just because of the title track but also within the context of the whole album.

Ferlin Husky released this album in 1957 and you just know what you're getting by looking at the cover!...it's a pretty bleak album and every song sits firmly within this world of heartbreak and loss, even the more sprightly songs like "Me and My Shadow" are arranged and sung in a way that pulls out the melancholy and puts it front and centre. Backed by The Jordanaires it does have a feeling of early Elvis ballads about it, but a bit more country and a lot less rock and roll in the vocal delivery...

I managed to snag a good promo copy for just a few pounds and I present it here in a new 24Bit 96KHz rip with scanned artwork. I've lightly cleaned up the recording but it's not the best produced album in the world and there's a bit of vinyl rumble but overall it'll do just fine....enjoyed best alone, at night, and with a bottle of Whisky.

I've been working on a new EP on and off for most of this year and it's finally nearing completion.
However, if you want to get a taste then those lovely people over at Active Listener have included a track "Black Shuck" on their new Compilation "Acid Folk Volume 2"
It's a great compilation and it's a privilege to be included, you can download it for free (or pay what you want) from Bandcamp, here
