The hole that was loved!!
Gone but not forgotten....for many Sheffielders this 'near-brutalist' structure (see picture) remains a fondly-missed refuge and meeting place. Hole int' Road (to use the proper vernacular) was built in 1967 but filled in in 1994 to make way for the new tram system. Officially called Castle Square Roundabout it occupied the site of markets going back to 1296. The site is now a tram stop, with just distant memories of the subterranean meeting place with its benches, shops and even the famous fish tank. Shame indeed!

Get Down feat. Frawstakwa

This is a re-mix of the original we did years ago . Jeff Roberts who created it from my basic acoustic idea wanted to remix and get it out on Spotify under the name of The Bird Thieves . 
Jeff was the first artist I ever collaborated with on Soundcloud and I will always be grateful to him for giving me the opportunity and believing in my raw ideas. 
Since then I’ve have worked with many great talented musicians from Soundcloud . The Conscience Of Kings project with Noobly simply transformed me and my love for being creative all over again. 
Thank you to everyone I have worked with and everyone I have engaged with on this platform.
Enjoy this tune all over again and a massive thanks to a Soundcloud legend that is Jeff Roberts.

Our Carpe Diem 


Candy to my eyes 
Sweet poison in my heart 
We were electric together 
But safer miles apart
In wild times we were living
And you always made me laugh
When you Dancing on the tables
And falling over in the dark

If your gonna judge us
You better be perfect 
And if you’ve got something say
It better be worth it
we lived for the moment x2
I’m our very own Carpe Diem 


Caught a train to London 
In hindsight shouldn’t of went
We stayed out 48 hours
And drank next months rent
Beautiful minds equal beautiful times
it was never gonna last
But what an absolute blast

Chorus with a times 4 

Outro

Ohhhh Darcey 
With lived for the moment x4

Cast of characters:

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, banjo, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—clavichord and theremin
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- synth
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five-string fretless bass, electric guitar, seed idea 
Composition--The Eclectic Collective 
  This song began with Josh coming up with the bass line and accompanying guitar chords that make up that part of the rhythm section. Ken was next to add his funky drums, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ also added to the rhythm, however, with his driving clavichord, soon after. He also added the trippy theremin you hear in the break part, too. Chris added some far out guitar parts that fill in the sound throughout, too. Mark then jumped in and she some of the synth you hear in the break part, too. Stephen came along to complete the sound with his cunning banjo, as well as fiery guitar in the break part. He also produced and mixed this superbly as always for us. 
  This is another purely Eclectic Collective production, and almost all of us were able to add our sound to this, except Tez and The Mysterious Decibel. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

HYBRIDS  交配種

Composer/Songwriter. Proficient performer of piano, bass guitar, double bass, cello, 6 string , 12 string , drums, triangle (shall I include tambourine too?🤣), vocals, lyrics. 99% of the tracks on this page are original songs. None of my performances on any of my tracks, whether solo work, or collaboration, have any editing whatsoever. Effects and equalization? Of course! But no editing, no software, etc. Quite a substantial amount of these tracks are with The Eclectic Collective. We are like family and have been playing together on a daily basis since approximately March of 2022 as the Eclectic Collective. Before the band bore it's name Eclectic Collective; Josh, Ken, Stephen, Tez, and  CG Maness were doing some occasional collabs. At any given time we are all simultaneously working on about 15 different songs. And when we feel they are done cooking in the oven we release them.  We release a song every week on Fridays at 4AM UTC
