Sucking Up – debut solo vocal release (streaming only)
An exciting development! I’ve finally gotten around to listening properly to the recordings Marc Reck made of my solo concert at the Old Joint Stock Theatre in Birmingham in Sept 07 – and theyre not half bad.
Ive also got to grips with some nice easy to use audio editing software and the result is that I am now able to make public for the first time ever … (drum roll pls!) … a recording of one my songs. By which I mean a tune with vocals and lyrics as opposed to the piano instrumentals that comprise Valentine Court.
The track is “Sucking Up” – a gently melancholic number with – by my standards – some pretty nice lyrics on the theme of healing and self discovery. The end section should hopefully leave you with a warm feeling.
In celebration of my new musician page on Facebook, I’ve made the track available exclusively there, so please vsit my page and have a listen.
Well, I hope you enjoy it. Do feel free to let me know if you do.
big love
Rich

Hi Clive
many thanks for your message – Im replying here cos I emailed you, but it bounced back (quota full).
glad you liked Maroon, like you say, shame we didnt make more of a go of it, but thats life.
we never recorded much either – just a three track demo quite early on, then a few goes late on where the standard of the recording wasnt up to sharing, tho its nice that the songs still exist in that way
theyre all on casette tho – one day I’ll get them digitised tho
if youd be up for joining my mailing list here then I can let you know
all the best
Rich

Love your stuff Rich, I remember you from a band called Serene Machine.
Also loved that Indie band you were in when I saw you at The Jug of Ale,Maroon? Shame it didn’t last. Do you have any downloads of your “old” work?
