Forthcoming releases:

close/r
long awaited (meaning i've taken my time) release...
how long can you make 3 chords last? in this case, 75 minutes.
Three versions of a tune which has three (very lovely) chords played on lots of different guitars by me (8 different guitars i think) and contributions from: Fraser McGowan, Konntinent, Arconic Music, David Newlyn, Absent Without Leave, Kevin hufnagel, Northern Valentine, Stafraenn Hakon, Ringinglow and Winterlight.
A live version of this track was included on the LIVE cdr released by October Man, recorded at Union Chapel - one of only two live performances of this piece to date.
This will be a limited CD on my own Editions6 label in a recycled card sleeve with rubber stamp. Most likely an edition of 300 copies (certainly no ore) available by mail order and from selected retailers.
