WATCH MOONWALKERS LIVE...(with thanks to LEMMYMARK)
"A quintessentially English singer/ songwriter who's surely a kindred spirit of our best mavericks ... "Toys From Balsa" may suggest something cheap and functional, but its' author shapes rich, diverse and wonderfully engaging creations from his source material."
Tim Peacock, Whisperin & Hollerin

"Glyn Bailey, whose latest offering 'Songs From The Old Illawalla' is a sparkling collection of songs"
Terrascope eZine

"a coming together of catchy melodies, infectious musical hooks and a nagging assortment of ample rhythms that runs through things, grabbing hold of you right from the start and refusing to let go again until the very end."
SubbaCultcha

"a voice inspired by Bowie...interesting songwriting where the lyrics are genuinely thoughtful - and at times a bit disturbing."
Guitar & Bass Magazine

"It may not be intentional but this is maybe one of Lancashire’s weirdest concept albums yet. "
ManchesterMusic.co.uk

"There is something intrinsically British about Glyn Bailey and his offbeat take on pop music. In another time - he'd have be a cult hero"
LostMusic.co.uk

"Songs From The Old Illawalla, his second solo record, is the result of a mind that works at ten to the dozen and an imagination that is running riot"
Americana.co.uk

The album features an 8 minute narrative based on the true story of American singer and cold-war defector Dean Reed, which has been featured on the singer’s official website.

Live shows feature Bailey's band The Many Splendid Things, comprising of Phil Senior (guitar vocals), John Gardner (bass & vocals), Owen Wright (drums), enhanced by keyboards from Jamie Singleton and occasional vocals from Angela Potter.

Just to let you know, my short story collection “A History of Sarcasm” is now available to buy. (It’s great, by the way.)

You can get it from www.doghorn.com

More details on my website, www.frankburton.co.uk

“The writer William Burroughs once called language “a virus from outer space”, and there’s a sense of that in A History of Sarcasm, where Burton holds words up to the sun and lets the light shine through them.”

Room Tones proudly presents... with Hey! M'cr:

GROUPER + JASPER TX + Danny Saul Destroyer + Fieldhead

Date: Friday 6th November 2009
Venue: NEXUS Art Cafe (opposite Vinyl Exchange)
Tickets: £7 @ http://www.wegottickets.com/event/53705, SeeTickets, Ticketline, & Picadilly Records

Grouper (US) has her latest – Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill – of three albums on Type Records. She has also been involved in collaborative releases, contributing a track to Xiu Xiu’s Remixed & Covered and four tracks to a split release with Inca Ore. Her other contemporaries are Belong, Growing, Tim Hecker, Windy & Carl and Atlas Sound.

Jasper TX (Sweden), with a hefty back-catalogue of releases on labels such as Miasmah, and collaborations with buddy Machinefabriek, is an essential domestic appliance in the household of conceptual music. He is comparable to artists Fennesz, Sigur Ros, Múm and Tape.

Intricate and atmospheric songsmith, Danny Saul (UK) performs with different combinations of musicians, making each gig a unique event. His forthcoming release is "Harsh, Final", and he also performs with Greg Haines as Liondialer.

Fieldhead (UK) music delights in tape hiss, bleak landscapes and decaying analogue loops. He is also a member of The Declining Winter and Glissando. His debut album, "They Shook Hands for Hours" is released soon on Home Assembly.

We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.

Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
