Mark heard Stuart's first album and was suitably impressed to review it in his national publication Acoustic Magazine which he edits, and offered his mixing services for some of the tracks and mastering for the whole second album. Read Stuart's blog for more details about the making of "House Of Sun."
Here is Stuart playing the actual Guild M20 guitar that Nick Drake is holding on the cover of Bryter Layter! Taken by Ken Sinyard of the BBC backstage at the Cockpit Theatre on the occasion of the "Celebration Of Nick Drake's Music" concert May 2009. The guitar was originally owned by Eric Clapton and is currently owned by Nick Laird Clowes and was bought to the concert by the legendary Jeff Dexter.

Here is Marks review of Stuart's first album.
"Stuart Anthony’s independently and self produced album The Colourful Truth takes the listener on a journey through plaintive acoustic psychedelia. The album’s production rarely progresses beyond the sound of six and twelve string acoustic guitars, vibes, vocals, which add to the albums charm and sensitivity. The albums sonic and stylistic references stretch from Pink Floyd, to The Verve and Jeff Buckley. However, this type of comparison is unfettered, as Stuart’s unique voice and songs hold their own. Despite a few tell-tale sign of a home spun production, Stuart Anthony has produced some great results in The Colourful Truth and I’m already looking forward to the next album."
The debut album on CD "The Colourful Truth" is now available to buy at CD BABY and costs $11.00.
You can also purchase the album as a digital download via iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody and Amazon MP3. Click the ad below to reach the iTunes Store page for "The Colourful Truth".
Here are some notable quotes about The Colourful Truth
"Really fine album. Heart-touching songs, sensitively sung; emotional lyrics, presented melodically, without bombast; an overall feeling that reminds me of some of Nick Drake's moods, or early Neil Young....It's a pleasure"
Lee Underwood, lead guitarist with Tim Buckley
"Congratulations. It sounds good – both modern and timeless."
Trevor Dann-former Head of BBC Radio One, BBC Music Entertainment, Producer of The Old Grey Whistle Test, Live Aid and biographer of Nick Drake.
"I really love your music & and it’s worthy of being promoted and being heard."
Mark Tucker - Editor of Acoustic Magazine
"Beautiful and haunting songs...."
Robin Frederick who sang and played with Nick Drake in 1967.
He also headlined at the Tim Buckley London Tribute Concert at the Cockpit Theatre on May 10th 2008. Sanctioned by the Tim Buckley Estate, it was a fantastic & successful night and a great celebration of Tim's music.
He is a regular at the Nick Drake Tribute Gathering concert in Tanworth In Arden and contributed to the recent biography of Nick Drake "Darker Than The Deepest Sea" by Trevor Dann. Live dates have been coming in a steady stream so far and he can't get enough of playing live.
Feel free to get in touch for gig bookings and enquiries.
