Recorded at Kyoti Studio in Glasgow and produced by Mark Freegard (Manic Street Preachers, Del Amitri, Eddi Reader) and featuring musicians from projects such as Simple Minds, The Proclaimers and Del Amitri – Home is where the heart stops’ is a truly Scottish record combining contemporary views on modern life in Britain combined with the clashing influences of mainstream pop with 70’s and 80’s guitar rock.

A chance meeting on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street gave Unkeepable the opportunity he had hoped for: recording with a chart topping producer. Marsden was busking on the busy street when he was given a business card by a stranger and told to call the number on it. He later found the stranger to be Mark Freegard, a Glasgow based producer who has worked with Manic Street Preachers, Marilyn Manson, Del Amitri, The Proclaimers, Deacon Blue and many more.



But this cliché doesn’t tell the whole story. Unkeepable has played over 1000 gigs in the last three years, crafting his live show and songwriting on the Edinburgh, Manchester, Hull and Leicester music scenes. From being made homeless in Manchester and hitchhiking, busking and sleeping rough in Europe to supporting ‘Mike Skinner and the Streets’ and opening up for America’s Got Talent finalist ‘Piff the Magic Dragon’.
