As promised, here’s a second track from the forthcoming ‘Iron Butterflies’ album. As with ‘Khaki Army Tank’, this track is a collaboration with Olivia Bradbury but this time we joined forces with my great friend, composer Matthew King, who wrote the harp, celeste and brass arrangements, the latter of which were then performed by Guildhall graduate Mike Ball. Olivia is once again on sparkling form, with a wonderful lyric and unique vocal performance. Enough from me… kick back, drink it in and let me know what you think.

Iron Butterflies: Khaki Army Tank

For the past two years, whenever other production work hasn’t (happily) got in the way, I’ve been working on an album project of my own, along with a group of carefully chosen collaborators. This summer, I’m determined to finish it but in the meantime, I thought it might be the right time to start unleashing a few of its completed songs upon the world at large. So, here’s the first of what will become a series of pre-album postings. The song was co-written with Olivia Bradbury who recently graduated from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama’s Jazz course. Her wonderful voice and interesting worldly observations, spelt our through her lyrics, made her a wonderful choice for a collaboration and the result is this… Khaki Army Tank. Expect more from this project soon.
