You all sit, mesmerised, few able to sip their pints now, totally astonished, completely absorbed... Something magical, astonishing and perplexing is happening right in front of you.

Ash Mandrake - Porter Cellar Bar 29th October with support from Bristol's Ed Keane (wizard of musicianship and loops)
WOW - love your sound - especially the song "Treading Water" - awesome groove and vocals! Also really like your production and tonal choices.
Hope you dig our sound too - this week we've uploaded our acoustic-based songs from our catalog. Check out "It Was You" or "Come With Me" - I think you'd enjoy them.
Oh yeah - thanks for the add. Keep up the great work - I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!
Just stopping by to let you know that I have finally gotten to post a brand new song up on myspace. I hope you'll take a listen and let me know what you think of it as you know, feedback is always appreciated.
The song is called "Woman Is on The Run" and it’s quite a bit different to the other songs I have posted so check it out if you can.
Hiya Jacanda! If you get a chance to listen, there’s a new song on my myspace, a quiet live recording of Packer’s Field. Song notes on the blog, lyrics on my website. Cheers! x
