Childhood by Matt Cade

My drumming has made it onto vinyl for the first time! Well, I think it's the first time... If it has happened before I don't know about it!

I'm so happy to have played a part in the making of this album by Matt Cade. He's a lovely chap and it was a cool project to be involved in.

When I have information on where you can listen to the album I'll let you know.

Behind the scenes

A couple of behind the scenes videos from Instagram of the gig at Wonder Fields with CoCo And The Butterfields!

I love instrumental music. I don't know a huge amount of people who share my obsession but in case you're curious, which I hope you are, below is a playlist of my favourite instrumental tracks and albums on Spotify.

The playlist contains quite a variety of music all loosely categorised as instrumental. Including modern classical (a.k.a neo-classical), drone, electronic, minimalist, percussive — all sorts really. I'd suggest putting it on shuffle and skipping past anything that doesn't take your fancy, it's quite likely the next track will be completely different.

Artists featured include Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Stars Of The Lid, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jon Hopkins, Julia Kent, Max Richter, Peter Broderick and Rival Consoles... To name a few!

Enjoy!

ps. If you have any recommendations please send them my way!
