Eat It All Up!

Rick of Dressed Like Wolves and bandmate Matthew (see our Milkbones split tape) have recorded this delightful little EP with Rick's nephews Jack, aged 4, and Harvey, aged 5. Combined, they are Mash and The Potatoes! They play melodica, glockenspiel, chord organ, toy piano, guitars and toys to capture that fun naivety that I can't get enough of. Hear the songs, collectively 'Eat It All Up', here, and also download at a price of your choice.



A Day at Spode


Some photos from the old Spode factory, which if you're from round these parts you'll know used to be a pretty big deal, before the whole pottery thing went kaput at the hands of huge corporations, technological advancements etc. 

Now the factory is used to hold arts events focused on ceramics, running workshops with all kindsa messy stuff. Well, mostly clay, but there was a lot of it.



These pieces are part of a group installation we made on the day...


This was my contribution!
