Where The Sands Turn To Gold

The Sunday Times has the Azusa Plane collection I compiled for RocketGirl in their leftfield list of the year. Fitting tribute for Jason DiEmilio. 

Crinkle!

A perfect pair of prestige Onomatopoeia shows in December

William D Drake  – 13th December, The Schott Music Shop, London

A very cosy and festive performance will take place in a unique venue. Bill and the band will perform an acoustic set with hurdy-gurdy, clarinet, piano, vox, guitar and other sonorities in the mix. Further details can be found at www.schott-music.co.uk. The venue is small so be very quick to book tickets. Festive fair will be provided.

cassettes, Magic Brother, Chrissy Fuel & The Flames – Friday, 28th December, Screamlounge, Croydon

2013 Onomatopoeia recording artistes whose West Country 10” will be our first release next year – cassettes and Magic Brother team up for a double headlining show. They will be supported by Chrissy Fuel & The Flames. As an act of sensational seasonal generosity we are delighted to make this show FREE to attend for all. It will be a woozy, uplifting and above all celebratory occasion.

Hope to see many of you there… And some more generosity…
