Debut Album Coming 2017

[davidjamesherbert]

A wee announcement… 

[davidjamesherbert]

"Absent Kelly Present: STEVE CRADOCK BAND

Steve Cradock Band tops the line-up at the early evening festival from promoters, Absent Kelly. Expect handpicked live support from across the UK, the Magic Mod, dancers, jugglers and DJs, including a set from none other than London’s biggest alternative radio station, XFM.

Widely acknowledged as one of the most influential guitarists of his generation, Cradock made his name as the lead guitarist and song smith of Britpop bigwigs, Ocean Colour Scene. In addition to OCS’s success, he has toured and recorded with the Modfather himself, Paul Weller for over two decades. You’d have thought all this would be enough for one man, but on top of it all, Steve has also found the time to forge himself a solo career too.

Whisked off by Weller shortly after this show, this is a rare opportunity to catch Cradock in his own limelight this year."

Cinnamon 2012

This is a really old song, used on that "Echo Beach" TV show a few years back.  Thought I'd give it a bit of a dust off and do a new version. See what yers think...
