Emily at Liverpool FC

Emily has recently done some recording and filming for Premier League Productions for a feature piece on Liverpool FC that was broadcast on European Sport Channels. The video was recorded in St George's Hall, Liverpool. You can catch the video here: https://vimeo.com/335871130

Martin Briars and Esther Pie Arques

Martin writes: First of a series of short theatre performances in Rouen, France. Sunday Morning and Piensa En Mii (originally sung by Luz Casal). Esther is Catalan, which explains the Nico resemblance on the Velvet cover and why we do a number of Spanish songs. I’m actually sitting down because I couldn’t find the guitar strap!

BAWL Video - Interview with Martin Tivnan

Here's a very rare video from the day. Shot in and around Manchester it features Martin, Alison Thomas as the Chauffeur and some unknown female interviewer. Thanks to Kev Brady for unearthing this timeless classic!

Legacy Vol 1 Lyrics Booklet

Studio Tour

Some people have asked where I recorded Legacy Volume 1. Well it was in my humble back bedroom converted to an Office/Studio. It's pretty cramped and I've tried swinging next door's cat round in it and it kept hitting the walls, but it's an OK place to work. Here's a brief video so you can see.

Bring On The Dancing Horses

Cover of the Echo and the Bunnymen song I did initially as a backing track but then completed as a song in its own right. As a band was loved Ian McCulloch and Echo and the Bunnymen and in fact he came to see us play once at a club in Manchester. The full story of that is in the booklet of the CD version on Legacy Vol 1
