Morning !
I'm Mike and I've been wandering around in Glasgow for a few years now playing my guitar and singing songs, drinking tea, sleeping, selling washing up liquid, thinking up bad puns, telling stories, feeding the cat, learning norwegian, reading about gnomes, listening to Vivian Stanshall, faffing, being skint, daydreaming and playing in a band called The Pendulums......
However, the aforementioned band lies scattered from one end of the universe to the other, only appearing on magical occasions, so Solveig and I play our new songs on guitar, banjo and fiddle throughout the land ! You can usually catch us at the Woodlands Creatures party on the last sunday of every month at the Halt bar.
I've got a record out now which you can buy if you like, it's a 4 track, vinyl ep which plays at 33 on one side and 45 on the other (just to let you know !!) xx
2's UP, it's ma fuckin birthday... TONIGHT! Free Limited Edition Print (1/50) and an 80min mix cd (1/150) to the earliest arrivals...

Greets from across the water. Pendulum's music comes up at the most amazing times when it is perfect medicine. A wild batch of tunes you all have recorded. Still at it?
