Hello.
I'm Head Of Light Entertainment (Carl Green to the local authorities) and I'm an obscure pop musician from North East England.
I ply my dirty pop trade, solo and terrified, in the region's pubs and clubs, where my 19 devoted fans sing my words back to me and try to engage me in light conversation. A strange nether world, but one where I feel at home.
One of my songs was included on Uncovered Tracks, a compilation CD of new Teesside acts released in December 2008 by the good people at Blue Bridge Records. My music has also been heard on supportive local radio stations, and written about kindly by kindly music writers who seem to like my sour pop outpourings.
My debut album "I Am Liberated" is set for release November 2009, and includes the 3 songs featured on this page. What happens after that is anyone's guess...

Tell me where I can order this album from online without having to face the outside world! I feel like I've already had enough free listens of Swan Around and now it just feels cheeky.
Hey sorry for the late reply. No probs about Wednesday, we gave it a miss as Angie put us into the battle of the bands last minute so we we just rehearsed and tried out set at the alice. Hope your voice is feeling better soon. Look forward to seeing you perform again soon.
