After some humming and hawing Matt and I decided not to include the words as part of the CD packaging. However the booklet is available as a free download on the Pollard & Kenny site. It contains all the words for This Concert Will Fall In Love With You, Clameur and Minotaur.

The Clameur album launch will be on 11th February 2012 at the Unitarian Church in New Road Brighton. For those that know Brighton this couldn’t be more central, and is the big church with classical columns a few doors up from Brighton’s Theatre Royal and opposite the Dome Box Office and Mash Tun pub. The…

Minotaur
Here is a video I shot for the short track Minotaur on my forthcoming CD with Matthew Pollard called Clameur. Whipped quickly around Brighton with my flip camera. Rather pleased with the result…
