3rd Feb 2012 - Latest live video

Here's the latest video of Lighthouse, performed live at Bush Hall.

6th jan 2012 - new live video

Here's the latest video from the album launch at Bush Hall. This performance of Northern Lights includes the arrangements originally composed by Nico Muhly for the album.

My thanks to Thomas Gould, Gillon Cameron, Ben Chappell and Kate Musker in the string quartet, and George Moore on the Glockenspiel. And most importantly my dear friend Hannah Donat from the Britten Sinfonia, for having made it all happen on the night.

The gig has also had some great reviews:

It was produced by Paul Savage (who's worked with such illustrious acts as Arab Strap, Mogwai, Franz Ferdinand and The Phantom Band) in Chem 19 Studios in Glasgow.

Five of the tracks feature arrangements by composer Nico Muhly, who has arranged for Sam Amidon, Björk, Grizzly Bear amongst many others.

A Modern Music Box...

The Music Boxes have been going strong, and you can track their progress either here or on Facebook.

To celebrate the launch of the album, I decided to work on something a little home-made.

My own modern-day music box. Something that only plays the album, and that you can pass from friend to friend.

The first box started its journey from London on Mon 31st October, and you can find out more here...
