The New Album -- I had to write

Edwyn,

I am so blown away by your new album Understated. "It's A Reason" is something that I could listen to all day long....31 Years is amazing...and I am just starting to dig deeper into this incredible record. I had read all the very positive reviews about the new album and then I listened to some of the songs...these are, in my opinion, some of your best songs ever.

Anyways, I don't want to go on and on....but I hope that you know how much we appreciate both you…

Brighton

Just got back from the Brighton gig . It was fabulous . I would have been dancing in the aisle if it wasn't for my crutches. Thanks for your kind words Grace.

Curious about Zeke...

Seeing the 4 x OJ vinyl albums hanging on the wall at my local Record Shop this weekend, I wondered if anyone knows what Zeke Manyika is up to these days?

Apart from one or two guest appearances on dance stuff he seems ungoogleable.

Have very fond memories of a wonderful solo gig he did in 1985.

Fingers crossed he is doing well whatever he is doing!

why not go for a live recording?

Edwyn, saw you and your band at the Lemon Tree and really enjoyed the sound - guitarist going off on one, band is tight but loose - you know hat I'm trying to say? why not release a live recording? Thanks for a great gig.

Any chance of including Ireland in your tour. I saw you performing in the Olym,pia in Dublin in '95 (?)when you were promoting Gorgeous George. F

Hi Edwyn and Grace

Fantastic you're on your way to Strathpeffer. Looking forward to a great night next Wednesday. AND it's the night of my gorgeous husband Kev's 50th birthday, so celebrations all round! Grace - we met (sorry I appreciate you'll hear lots of this..) at Belladrum last summer. We shared tissues while listening to Roddie Frame! A big hello from us both.

Can't wait. Heather, Strathpeffer X

Art Work and Bum Fuzz

Posted by scott owen on May 5, 2017 at 17:15 0 Comments 0 Likes

My Bum Fuzz unit just arrived in California along with some plectrums with Edwin art. It took me along time to order this unit, but the twenty five year gestation period for it to be built surely eclipses my lack of urgency. Best regards all...

Thank you for the music

A while back I asked Edwyn if he would let me use his music on a little film I made. Here is the result: Mill Mechanics

Thanks for that.

Shareefa Energy – ‘Reasoning With Self’ - Review

A few months ago the BBC offered a profile of new emerging female poets, ‘Women Who Spit’. Watching the short films by Jemima Foxtrot, Cecilia Knapp and Deanna Rodger, I noted with great relief that the art of poetry is alive and well. I have always been fascinated by the medium. The ability to express intricate thoughts and feelings in a few lines of words. It is the most empowering process. And empowerment through self-expression… Continue

Thanks

Dear Edwyn,

Can I just thank you for your contribution to my life. From that very first shiver I got listening to Felicity on the John Peel Show to the smile I still express today when you burst into laughter half way through Consolation Prize, it's important I let you know how much your music means to me before one of us croaks it.

I was hooked instantly and bought all the singles and albums, the ten inches, 12 inches and even ripped the flexi discs off Smash Hits and Melody…
