Ecky Pella started as an idea, written on an analogue four track recorder, one bored and financially challenged day in Edinburgh. The whole episodic journey took a massive seven hours from start to finish and is completely improvised in the first instance.
Sandy provides all instrumentation and vocals on the first album. A second album has been recorded in the same format but as yet, is unreleased. Ecky Pella is the comic personna of Sandy Wright - see www.myspace.com/sandywrightmusic
I'll sue if you persist, but it is fab that Kris's album is in HMV's top 30 albums of 2006.. Beads&Feathers and Steel&Stone were beautifully sang and played by all..more congrat's to Kris and Tom at Reveal Reacords. Luv, Sandy
