Hello,
This month we have a collection of songs from the fabulous Jon Wilks to share with you. Kicking off the digital EP ‘Live at the Albion Rooms’ with the fitting October Song, here’s an autumnal treat for you all! Hope you enjoy.
JON WILKS - LIVE AT THE ALBION ROOMS
1 October Song
2 Napolean’s Farewell to Paris
3 From a Lullaby Kiss
4 Greek Street
In October 2023, I was booked to play at the wonderful Rosslyn Court, Margate. Who should be in the audience but Carl Barât, of The Libertines fame. We chatted. Turns out he quite likes Napoleonic ballads. He invited me to visit his residential studio - The Albion Rooms. One thing led to another, and I ended up making this EP in July, 2024. All done live in the studio with accompanying videos (and pics) by the esteemed Jon Nice, with help from my excellent son, Kai. Sound engineered, mixed and mastered by Medway’s finest, Jason Stafford. Bob’s yer uncle (or, in my case, my stepfather). Get stuck in.
If you haven’t already checked out the new album from Seckou Keita, you can download the album now on Bandcamp or on our portal so have a listen!
Bellowhead tour time is nearly upon us so I’m off on the road for a spot of live sound this month, do come and say hello if you’re at any of the gigs, it’s always lovely to meet our subscribers. And, amongst those gigs, I’ll be busy planning plenty of delights for our supporters in 2025. We love to hear from you all so if there’s anything you’d like to see on the club next year, drop us a message and we’ll do our best!
