about

Following on from last year's Home Alone EP, "The Old Year / The New Year" is two more traditional carols backed by two further original tracks with a seasonal flavour, all done in my usual lo-fi home-made style.

It's perhaps a bit more upbeat and joyful this year, though still with plenty melancholy hiding around the corner.

This EP also welcomes a guest contributor for the first time - my eternal gratitude to Michael Pedersen for very kindly allowing me to set his poem "Fancy Dress For Fancy Folks" to music!

Seasons greetings to you all!
