about

* Here’s the second in my series of lunatic lockdown albums!
* Each week for 5 weeks I’m releasing a new album for hardly a sixpence.

This is a nasty little collection of tracks, and if you suffer from ‘coulrophobia’ - the irrational fear of clowns - then you may want to sit this one out.

But if you enjoy a short, mad ride, well then, these are just for you.

I’ve thrown a couple of instrumental tracks into the mix and while they might not have a story, the titles and the twisted atmospheres usually suggest what horrors may be occurring.

*Thanks to Eugene Field who wrote the poem "The Drum" and to the Whitney Brothers Quartet who put music to it in their 1908 song “The Little Red Drum”.
