Bubble & Squeak Volume 1

As some of you may already know, I'm releasing a "Rest Of" album. Here's a bit about what it is and why I'm doing it

This past year I've been on a bit of a songwriting spree (at least, for me) and while a lot of the best of that material got used in Down By The Riverside, there are a lot of songs that didn't get included in that album. Some because they didn't fit the style, others because they sounded too similar to a song already on it, or to a song that's fairly well known and I didn't want to officially release a "rip-off" - others because they simply didn't stand up beside them

Now, I'm not including all of the songs I've written in this - some of the songs I've written are quite simply awful by anyones standards and I'm not putting them out there

However, these songs, I think some people will like them. In some cases I may find my judgement was way off and that they're very popular, in which case they might get promoted to be included in the next studio album and be recorded properly (these songs are all basic recordings - demo standard)

As the title suggests, the album's going to be called Bubble & Squeak Volume 1. Bubble & Squeak coz it's the leftovers, but at the same time, everyone loves Bubble & Squeak, so it's a bit of positive spin. Volume 1 because it's the 1st and if I have another songwriting burst and decide to do this again, it saves me having to think of another title

Anyway, I've just finished recording the last song for the album, which has turned out to be 14 tracks long and I'm now going to do a quick bit of mastering on each of them and put them out there

Oh, did I mention it's going to be a free download? (well, technically pay what you want)
