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.

21st Dec 2011 - Thank you

Thank you to everyone who came to the Bush Hall album launch.

Over the coming weeks, we'll start posting some videos from the show. For now we thought we'd start with Luke's performance with his sister Charlotte Ritchie ( ‘Oregon’ from Channel 4′s hilarious ‘Fresh Meat’), singing with Daisy Chute and Melanie Nakhla:

The gig has also had some great reviews:

"in the lush environment of the Bush hall; it was the perfect antidote to the winter blues."From godisinthetvzine.co.uk - click on quote for full review

The Water's Edge is on sale now, either as a Limited Edition Digipack CD, or on iTunes.

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...
