Report on a meteorite landing in Leeds in August 2016. Definitely happened.

Meteorite report, Radio 2, 18th August

Fairly convinced I'm reaching peak-Partridge.  "I've been to Cornwall" has made it to a trail. 

For more such gems, listen to BBC Radio Leeds 9am-midday for the rest of the week. Ta!

Mid-Morning (Matters) Trail

Testing testing my new Roland keyboard. Quite pleased with the recording. That is all.  

Human Cannonball (Loudon Wainwright III)

Just love this song. First heard it done by Don McLean, but am reliably informed by a well known online encyclopaedia that the words were written by Percy French in 1896, and the tune is that of Carrigdhoun, obvs.

Mountains of Mourne (French/Trad/McLean)

You all know this makes sense. Played live with Roland FP-4F and AKG C3000B using ProTools LE. I should really update my equipment. 

Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush cover)

Fell in love with this song when I first heard it. Probably shouldn't cover Tom Waits. There could be reprisals. Again, recorded live, with Roland FP-4F.

Martha [Tom Waits Cover]

Continuing a theme of 'Covering-Songs-You-Probably-Shouldn't-Cover' - here's a sripped back arrangement of Toto's Africa. Again, for those interested, it was recorded live using a Roland FP-4F.

Larry Budd - Africa [Toto Cover]

From the ARCHIVES! Recorded this in 2006, whe' ar wa' justa bairn o' 26. Saw it covered by an ace band called Story One, who I think have disbanded. Ignore the piano mistakes and dodgy production: I had, and continue to have, impatience-induced low standards.

Larry Budd - AM180 (Grandaddy Cover)

This is a cover I recorded for Michelle's cousin Sarah. I'm not a huge fan of Snow Patrol musically, but they often do it for me lyrically.
