Here's a video about the new album I announced yesterday. Filmed by my friend Geoff Alexander at The Green Man, a funky little art gallery in Buxton, Derbyshire, and including snippets of many of the songs on the album. My refreshed website will go live tomorrow and will include lengthier previews of all the tracks.
I do hope you like it, it only took half a day to film but bloody ages to edit into something vaguely coherent!

Well, I can say I didn't want it to end because I enjoyed it that much. In fact I repeat watched it 4 times. Lots of lovely guitars, interesting details about the CD, lovely setting and a proper excellent video it is too. The songs and music clips sound really very, very good indeed. New YouTube channel, new website, new CD and a great video to launch your CD. Boy have you been busy. Exciting times for you Richard, you must be well pleased and I am well chuffed for you too Phil

Aw thanks Phil, glad you liked it. I've been climbing some pretty steep learning curves these last few weeks!

Lovely video is that Richard - congrats to Geoff for the filming, and to you for coming across in a very natural way - just like the real thing! The music sounds great, and there was some great product placement for the F-word! Haven't watched it as many times as Phil though...yet! Hope this vid does the CD a lot of good, and that the CD will be a great success for you - you deserve it. But you've tantalised us enough now - tell us how/when we get hold of the CD! Keith

Thanks so much everyone. Keith, the waiting's nearly over... cottonopolis, yes, an El Trovador. Thinking I fancy a change actually, so it may be up for sale at some point...

It is very well done but why do you spend so much time in a completely empty room? Is that a deliberate artistic vibe for the video?

Excellent video and great music! Geek question: I see you play an Orsino. How does it sound compared to your new small Falstaff?

Excellent video and great music! Geek question: I see you play an Orsino. How does it sound compared to your new small Falstaff? Thank you! Honest answer: I'm not entirely sure, as I haven't actually played any of my other guitars since I got the Falstaff... I'll play them back to back tomorrow and see if I can find words to describe their particular characters, though given what Roger said about our respective guitar tone description skills it may not be of much use! I'll also take a photo of them together in daylight so you can see the size difference. Check back tomorrow...
