Clown Face is the opening track the Fall in Green album, Apocalypse of Clowns. The album breaks away from simple piano and poetry into progressive multi-instrumentation for a ground breaking explosion of sawdust and glitter.

Meet the Tattooed Man in Skin, the Bearded Lady in Fairytale, and the joyous and energy filled Siamese Twin Domestic. Dead Hand is Fall in Green's own dark take on Wuthering Heights, so very different from Kate Bush's classic interpretation.

Asylum Flowers is a track from the EP War Is Over by Fall in Green. The album is a series of six poems and musical works on the theme of the end of war, originally created for a couple of performance events for Cheshire Libraries to commemorate the end of the First World War.

Asylum Flowers is about the trauma of war, and based on a true story from after Second World War.

Give Me Your Pain is a track from the 2022 album Lou Salome: Empathy With Daisies.

Born in Russia in 1861, Lou Andreas-Salomé is remembered for her friendships with the great thinkers of her day. As well as being a poet, author, narrator and essayist, Salomé was the first female psychoanalyst, and muse to Friedrich Nietzsche, Paul Rée, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Sigmund Freud.

In 2022, Stefano Santachiara, the Italian author of a biographical play about Salomé's life invited Fall in Green to create a new work on the theme, and this album is the result; a new biographical work which explores the life of Salomé, and her relationships.

Each track explores a different aspect of her personality and relationships. Entwined in Infinity, for example, explores the minds of Salomé and Nietzsche. The Bird in Borrowed Feathers looks at Friedrich Carl Andreas, and Cosmic Solitude, Give Me Your Pain, and Sit With Your Ghost explores her deep relationship with the poet Rilke.

The Cabinet Of Dr Eckelmann from the 2025 album Letters From A Square Spoon

Letters From A Square Spoon includes new, definitive recordings of works Deborah and Mark have performed live many times, plus new works which have pushed them yet further. Find Dr Caligari at the start, and the curious Madman of Crumpsy Madpash in old Cheshire dialect. Plus the delicate The River Where You Used to Swim, and the epic Sunchild, as initially performed in Congleton Library for the summer solstice.

Musically, the album spans the gamut of Fall in Green's music to date. There are delicate acoustic tracks, and those focused on piano and strings, but lots of electronics and wild sounds too, all expanding upon the music in Apocalypse of Clowns.

Who is Afraid and She Floats from Testing the Delicates (2018). These two poems are about death and loss; the suicide of Virginia Woolf, and Shakespeare's Ophelia, with particular reference to the painting by John Everett Millais. Words by Deborah Edgeley. Music by Mark Sheeky.

I filled my pockets with rocks
I left you my words on the river bank
to hold
to squeeze
to make sense of my
existential musings
of how I am going mad
again.

I am
was
words.

Farewell ink and thought
walking tears on 
blotting paper...

Her bed is algae.
She sways, gently,
as reeds stand erect in the breeze.

Delicate neck framed
with garland of withered violets.

Fingers splayed
as fritillary floats between cloth
and water’s edge.
Scattered meadowsweet.
Bittersweet.

Red poppy with black seed.
Pheasant’s eye floats near pansies.
Dragonfly hovers over open mouth.
Translucent rainbow wings
disappear.

She floats. Unkissed. Please forget me not.

Who is Afraid/She Floats

Time, Falling from Testing the Delicates (2018). Written about the changing of the season,  this poem is about the loss of summer and the coming of winter. Words by Deborah Edgeley. Music by Mark Sheeky.

Veined with pumpkin blood
thin, flat palms pat
the earth,
dusting the parlour room
with evergreen feathers
for the new visitor.
 
Rounding up another year.
Dog whistles.
Sheep chasing leaves 
as the wind's hand 
raises high
a confetti of memories;
dancing while falling.

Time, falling.

Hidden from the hand.
Trodden.
Forgotten.
Broken.
Crushed.

Take off your hat.

Time, Falling

Quick Get Your Lows

Walking Tears from Testing the Delicates (2018). Testing the Delicates is an album of many moods, themed around attitudes to mental health and experiences of caring. This track is about experiences of mental institutions. Words by Deborah Edgeley. Music by Mark Sheeky.

Asylum stairs
graffiti
of my walking tears.

Rave into the nightmarish room at will
delusive light trembles 
talks about you
they hate you
behind 
padded walls.

Eyes throwing fear to the floor.

The house not right in the head
shines
under the clown moon.
A crayon smile.

My walking tears
the silent drift of petals
from the sick rose.

Un-remembered sunsets.
Un-touched mornings of bright chances.
Un-teared.

My walking tears
touch the earth
and it crumbles
into colour-psych dreams. 

Tongue le Manège Enchanté
Taste every shade of la démance. 

Oui!

Frappamad 
Nonexpresso 
Flat Corpse with a Beige Biscotti 
Sickamocha
Café au Tear

Mind trips to hostile planets
Spinner-top eyes and paper trees
Magic Roundabout flashbacks
Dougal's tongue

Zebedee.

Can all passengers make sure they have their belongings with them before embarking the ship?

Let me in! I've left my identity in the cabin.
 
My walking tears
crumble in rainbows.
I swirl my finger, 
dissolve, reappear, dissolve.

Words by Lewis Carroll.

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe

Beware the Jabberwock, my son
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!

He took his vorpal sword in hand
Long time the manxome foe he sought
So rested he by the Tumtum tree
And stood awhile in thought

And as in uffish thought he stood
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood
And burbled as it came

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back

And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
He chortled in his joy

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
All mimsy were the borogoves
And the mome raths outgrabe

Jabberwocky

We are a performance focused act of spoken word poetry and live music.
