The Bubble EP Launch 23rd May 2009

On May 23rd 2009, I will be joined by an eclectic ensemble of 10 musicians for a full bodied performance of The Bubble EP, part two in a trilogy of EPs released throughout 2009.

Considered an ‘undiscovered gem’ by many concert goers, the beautiful theatre space at Newhampton Arts Centre will provide the ideal environment for the performance. The theatre has comfortable seating, disabled access, the room has a great natural sound and the sound and lighting systems are second to none.

The location is of particular significance as it is where we recorded the music too; a total of 21 songs will be released in 2009 via 3 EPs: The Balloon: The Bubble: and The Box.

“escapism was the prevailing theme, the three titles are all types of hideaway”

Tickets are available now priced at £5, click here to buy via the Newhampton Arts Centre website, or call the box office: 01902 572 090 during office hours.
