Hi Folks
Just to let everyone know what is happening with regard to Phil Beer
albums.
After moving from Riverside up to the Cullompton studio complex run
by Oysterhouse publishing two and a half years ago, I stockpiled a
large amount of recorded work which will gradually see the light of
day over the next year or so. I have enough material to complete box
set 2 and possibly material for a 3rd one. I am now prioritizing the
material recorded for a double album 'Boys called William, Girls
called Nancy'. This, as you may have guessed is predominantly
traditional in flavour and consists of an acoustic disc and an
electric disc. The acoustic material is very sparse and the electric
disc explores further the idea of my old mate and compatriot Ashley
Hutchings of British trad music as actually being our own form of
country music.
There are a large amount of acoustic tracks recorded which, upon
consideration, don't necessarily fit the theme outlined here and may
well appear on a different album together with several instrumental
pieces. It is very likely now that this album will be the first to
appear as I seem to have ended up already editing and mixing at least
six of the tracks already. The working title for this album is-
Phil Beer - Plays
guitar and fiddle - sings a bit.
There will be previews shortly when the new 'Chudleigh Roots' website
emerges.
There will also be some free downloads.
Watch and wait!

Sailing &
Music on Pegasus
|
|
Just a heads
up. I have access to the good ship Pegasus for a period in mid august
this year. I propose to put together a 4 or 5 day sailing and music
trip out of Plymouth during this time. This ticks several boxes -
interested people get to experience sailing a fantastic traditional
sailing vessel with complete access to me in the evenings for
informal workshops, singarounds and sessions. I get to sail my
favourite ship for a few days and the boat sustains another slice of
income which helps to keep it on the go. The price will be somewhere
between ?600/700 per head. Everyone stays on board and all meals are
included.
Thanks!
Phil
Anyone interested should mail me through the office, just email vicky_at_firebrandmusic_dot_co_dot_uk
