I feel a little cheeky putting this here, but I thought some of you may like the finished result. It's the end to a long long project, original arrangements of, mostly, tunes that haven't been arranged for classical (and a bit of steel string) guitar before.
The track listing (almost) is in the YouTube link.
The album is out in 3 weeks, it's streaming only, for the time being, as that was the most cost effective way I could get the copyright licences for some of the newer pieces.
CD Baby has categorised it as Easy Listening. Hahaha. It's really not. And it wont be for everybody. My missus calls it my Les Dawson stuff because of all the deliberate dissonance in there. š„“
Anyway, here's the trailer... That's what you do these days apparently.

You should try hard to get Stuart Maconie to hear it - the fact that you've covered music from Blood On Satan's Claw, Witchfinder General and A Study in Terror would be right up his street, and would practically guarantee you airplay on his Freak Zone show on Sunday nights.

Do you know, I've been trying to work out how to get certain people to listen, it seems very cheeky on the one hand, but also, in the end, I'm just trying to share this beautiful music that others have written. I'm going to give that a go Matt, thanks very much. It's a good idea. |

The album is up and about now, I use Amazon for streaming but most people seem to use Spotify so I'll post the link.
Many thanks people.
Matt, thanks a lot for the Stuart Maconie idea, I emailed the BBC and Stuart got back to me on his personal email a day later, so I've sent him the downloads. Which was a little surreal to be honest.

Looks like you got some airplay in the end.
(I also really enjoyed the French-language track 'Terre Noire' by House of Gold on that same radio show, had to go look them up)

Hahaha. What the?
I didn't even know!
I assumed they would have told me.
Thanks a lot Matt, that's made my day. š
