Former Glory by Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures
Put together over the last 18 months, this is a protest album full of songs about hopelessness, anger, love, travel, the weather, a fallen icon and ice hockey.
To put together the tracks I digitally assembled a group of amazing musicians and friends around me to add piano, organ, trumpets, flugelhorn and backing vocals. We were never in the same room at the same time but I think the experiment worked and enlivened these songs and my ideas, elevating them well above my usual compositions.

Songwriting and banging your instruments together
The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first.
