Had a fantastic night at the ALASKA film-showing/gig last night – fabulous set from the North to the Future boys accompanied by massive insects attacking each other, and great film for their new single ‘Girl’.

Really enjoyed playing my guitar and singing, which was helped massively by the super-friendly audience – thank you so much to everyone who was there, you listened and laughed in all the right places! Below is a little film of one of the songs I played for all the people who couldn’t make it last night. Not quite the same as being there but hope you enjoy it anyway.

There were a few people who wanted to buy one of my Twin Peaks CDs but couldn’t do so because the tiny number I had brought had already sold out. Please get in touch with me and I’ll try to get one to you. Or alternatively buy one via the website.

Five Miles South by Samuel Foxton WellesThe album inspired by Twin Peaks is now available! It’s called Five Miles South and if you click on the image above you can buy it.

It features all the songs already released: Diane, New Shoes, The Owls are not What They Seem, and Lady of the Log; as well as three new ones: Looking for the Answer, Sheriff Truman and End of a Beautiful Friendship. The finale End of a Beautiful Friendship is only available if you buy the full album, not as a single download.

If you’ve already bought tracks (I know who you are you lovely people!) then get in touch and I’ll let you have the album at a nice price.

In other news…. I’m playing a LIVE SET at the Packhorse in Leeds this Friday. Find out more.

Yes indeed I will be playing live at the Packhorse in Leeds, as part of rampant rockers ALASKA’s video screening event / gig.

So do come along at 8:30pm and hear me sing; watch a film involving werewolves and attempted marriage; and watch ALASKA do their ‘B-movie psychadelic garage surf pop’ stuff live on stage.

So that’s Friday 27th January 2012 here:

‘The Owls are not What They Seem’ is the fourth release from my forthcoming albumette, which will be entitled ‘Five Miles South’ and available from this ‘ere website early 2012.

If you can listen to the entire song whilst sitting motionless and unblinking on a branch and then swivel your head round 350°, then you win a prize of a small vole.

Listen below and if you really enjoy it you can even buy it and take it with you in your talons!

Quality Control

I’ve had a few queries about the formats used when downloading my music from this website.

When you listen to the track in your browser you are hearing a 128k MP3, which is not great quality. Downloads, however, are available in MP3 320, FLAC, MP3 VBR (V0), AAC, Ogg Vorbis or ALAC format. If you have no clue what all this means then I’d just go for the 320k MP3, as this will play back beautifully in iTunes, Windows Media Player, your iPod, etc.

A few people have asked if these tracks will be available on CD and the answer is: yes eventually! Watch this space if you would rather have a physical CD than an immediate download and I’ll let you know how you can get your hands on one in the new year.
