Llwynog means Fox. Away from his home he kills best. It references Gyrn Wigau, which is a summit amongst the Carenddau. The fox stands still at the foot of this mountain, he's escaped the shot of the farmer's gun and is much faster than the farmer's dog.

Tincian is 9Bach's second album. It's an atmospheric, emotional record that reflects their home environment of Gerlan, North Wales. As Lisa Jen explains, 'tincian can mean a lot of things, to move with a tinkling sound, to ring and make a clear sound. Depending on what area of Wales you are from, the meaning varies. It comes to life in dialogue when you use sentences like "I gave him such a talking to, he didn't know what had hit him...he was 'tincian'." It's almost like a cartoon image of someone's head being hit by a hammer'.

John Metcalfe takes to the road for a series of dates in May 2016. 

For these live shows Metcalfe has assembled an incredible line up of musicians from the worlds of folk, electronica and post-classical; crisp, jazz-influenced beats from Rae Morris’ drummer Daisy Palmer, deeply felt groove from Red Snapper's bassist Ali Friend and the exquisite voice of Rosie Doonan, fresh back from touring with Birdy.

'It's an effervescent, divinely beautiful moment, packed with Eno-esque passages of ambience and glistening guitar lines worthy of 
Vini Reilly.’ – Clash

Composer, producer, classical violist, guitarist, and arranger to A-list pop stars, John Metcalfe has always been a name worth seeking out. The Appearance of Colour presents Metcalfe as a recording artist -- as front man, maestro and manipulator of sounds. Moreover it's a 'proper' album, carefully crafted as a listening experience with a beginning, middle and end, in which no two tracks sound or feel the same.

To make the album, Metcalfe enlisted the support of a small 'repertory company' of trusted collaborators, including drummer Andy Gangadeen (The Bays, Chase and Status), bassist Ali Friend (Red Snapper), pianist Tom Cawley (Curios, Peter Gabriel) and singer Natasha Khan (Bat for Lashes). Metcalfe then meticulously assembled his arsenal of electronics, strings, guitars and layered vocals in his Oxford garage studio. The Appearance of Colour may share some of the programmed perfection typical of contemporary electronica, yet there's a 'played' feel that animates the tracks -- the sense of musicians giving everything they have in the first take.

Flute: Neil MacLeod
A track recorded live at the Brown's loungeroom. We added some additional instruments after we recorded the full band part, It was great fun to play and Nicole really has soul in her voice! This is a mix we put together so our friends can hear the music. We'll attempt another mix sometime.

Deja Vu (Demo mix)

Written by Stephen Housden and Frank Howson. 
In 1990 Little River Band did some shows in Australia and we had Warren Zevon as our special guest. Warren had a fantastic leap he did during his part of the show and I asked him would he teach it to me. He said he was taught the leap by Peter Buck of REM and would be glad to teach me. (This could be the Rock version of the Folk tradition of passing along old tunes).
When Frank Howson sent me the lyric to Playing Warren Zevon I told him the story and said we have to put 'He taught me how to leap' in the lyric. Listen for it in the middle the song. (2.18)
There is a great shot of Warren and me leaping together. I'm not sure who took it but I'm very grateful to have it. I have fond memories of the gigs with Warren. 
I hope you all enjoy the song.


Playing Warren Zevon (early mix)

When we played in Den Haag last week I met up afterwards with some friends, including Miranda who has followed The Waterboys since 1985. I always enjoy seeing Miranda and getting to hang out a little with her.  We were talking about a concert long ago at The Melkweg in Amsterdam when someone took our picture together, and we both remembered it as a great show. 

So specially for Miranda, here's the version of This Is The Sea from that night, played by the Still Burning band - James Hallawell (keyboards), Ian McNabb (bass), Gavin 'Fingers' Ralston (guitar) & Geoff Dugmore (drums).  I'm on lead guitar and vocals.
