   About Alan Burton

Alan is a product of West Penwith, the very end of Cornwall. Having an avid interest in music, never tying himself to any single domain, his tastes cover the crush of distorted Guitars, the hypnotic charm of world wind instruments, the drive of Uilleann Pipes to the sound of wind rushing through cracks in granite Carns, the lark rising over the dunes, breaking waves echoing against the sheer cliffside. Alan hears music in many things.

Perhaps his fascination with SW radio late at night, hearing strange preachings, guttaral tones, bleeps, whirrs and twangs is incorporated. Maybe he read too much Lovecraft. The clink of boat masts swaying as they rest at harbour.

He has helped to summon sea monsters. Shared boathouses with small birds. Feared the sky. Loved the sea. Swum with sharks. Made mistakes. Put some right.

Have a break from football and come dance instead. We're playing at the Spiegel tent on Bath rugby ground (the Rec) They'll be videos as well and we'll be playing new songs from the album "Beyond the forest" as well as old favourites. You can hear clips on our website (www.baka.co.uk) and we've put a couple of live tracks on our Myspace page. One Love!

Yo, Al! Just put a new video up on my page... Luckily I didn't press the eject button, so it should be OK ;-)

Looking forward to working on those files - Lots more time after this week.

Cheers.
