 Singer-songwriter extraordinaire from Nottingham, UK. www.rosieabbott.co.uk 

Formed in the spring of 1986 as a proto White Stripes/Wham! hybrid, The Freedom Circle's first recording was a cover of Skids' 'Melancholy Soldiers' with new lyrics entitled 'Oh! Oh! Let's Begin!'. Ditching the drum kit & the tennis shorts that summer,  the nucleus of Haddelsey & Freemantle was augmented for the next 12 months by a drum machine called Dr Stix, a briefcase, a fellow who lived by the grave sites of The Moors Murderer's child victims & their very own Arnold Layne respectively. The band played the first of their only two live shows at the legendary Venue Fifty Something in Nottingham in 1987, where they refused to take the stage until the whole eight minutes of their intro tape, The Velvet Underground's 'The Gift', had finished. After this, there was no time left to play any of their own songs and the band broke up amid acrimony and a case of underwear theft shortly after. Reforming in 2012 with the completely original line-up, these are the fruits of their first  few alcohol fuelled sessions for your aural refusal. Old Breastonians Forever...

A post-modern Garage Rock nightmare combining demon raising surf and punk guitars with furiously delivered tales of fright and horror, hate and love, life and death delivered at face melting pace by the best-dressed mess in the UK.

They are not linear. They do not follow the limited rules of old records. Instead they take a leap forward with ingenuity and create a fortress of a sound scape representing an impenetrable wall of sound that Phil Spector himself would be proud of.

Solo musician from the midlands but also plays with Cake Sloth, Dynamite For Partisans and The Dream at the End of the World. So It Goes available on CD here: https://simonwaldram.bandcamp.com/album/so-it-goes
