Ashley McNally has been described by HERE magazine as the "curly haired little sprite" who "plays a mean guitar."  

Originally from the Grand Falls area of New Brunswick, Ashley now resides in downtown Moncton.

Ashley's sound could be described as folky grassroots with ethereal piscean undertones...with a big ole swig of  "dirty whiskey country" and a dash of funky jazz.  There's little point in trying to peg her down into a single category. To her family, friends and fans, Ashley is her own genre.

Check back here often for the latest songs and updates.  She aims to release her first album in 2014.

Founded in mid 2012 Chips Malone and the Amish Hitman are a folkish duo based in Nottingham and Bristol. We love weird and guitars and booze and songs :)  If you need a basic handle on us, we are two guys and two guitars, who got together in Nottigham, and are currently bumbling around the UK, avoiding boredom as best we can, getting funny looks, making dubious sense of it all and having ourselves some fun:) hopefully we'l help some fellow bipeds to think, chuckle, tap feet and get a bit bemused.
For those who like to pigeon hole, NMT stands for neo-mutant-folk. It also stands for Neon Militant Terapins.
Our backgrounds (musical and otherwise) are, varied, intoxicated, lit b moon and sun and also a bit murky. Gavin (Chips Malone) hails from the enchanted garden of Derby, is the proud co-inventor of the napalm-palm, and moonlights as a funk/soul DJ and chef. Neil (Amish Hitman) was raised in a barn in Cumbria, having been formally educated in the 'don't even think about it' school of music, he is now trying to get his own back. On the side he is a dementia carer, gardener and regular
 shoe wearer:) 
Our first EP 'Noodlebeast Sandwich' is out now available through bandcamp. We anticipate sales well into double figures and hope to achieve a sub-niche level of obscurity. Post gig, quick capsule reviews by unaccredited drunks have so far included 'that last song was the weirdest thing I've heard outside Frank Zappa' and 'we liked the one that sounded like the Proclaimers on acid'. We are available for weddings, bar mitzvas and the opening of reality envelopes :) peace love and joy CM+AH X:)

14th March 2013 - The Loft, Nottingham

I'm a composer, pianist, vocalist, guitarist and producer based in Brighton, UK.  My work is highly diverse, sometimes entirely solo, sometimes with members of a diverse pool of musicians collectively known as 'The Academy of Sun' and sometimes in other collaborative arrangements. 

In 2011 Kiddiepunk Records put out 'A Day Without Comfort', which is a character study based on the extraordinary life of a friend.  This was released as a limited edition booklet and CD and is available from www.kiddiepunk.com

'My Antique Son', 'A Day Without Comfort' and 2009's 'TERRitORies of disSENT' form part of an album quintet known to myself as 'The Phoenix Archaeologies'.  

The fourth in the sequence - 'Letters To The Dead' (an occult melodrama in three acts), which uses only acoustic instruments (i.e. no synth, REAL pianos, etc) and was recorded in churches and various studios with an eclectic and huge array of amazing musicians.  This was released on limited edition 12" vinyl by Antithetic Records, and as a CD by Alter Clef Records in 2012, alongside a series of expanded concerts within a dynamic visual environment.

Other projects include the first in a series of EPs under the name 'Tadzio', out on Blindsight Records as a limited lino-cut package with accompanying prose piece. 

The last in the quintet, 'Ganymede In A State Of War' was released in 2016 via arts organisation Theme.
