If you think you may have something of interest, no matter how small or large. Please consider doing so by contacting the club directly or Grim O'Grady, Jukebox Jury or myself ([email protected]).

1 Lazy Bohemians [Peculiar] – taken from the Pronoia album ‘Goodbye My Angry Friend’, remastered edit by Stevie O, produced by Tim Browne. Laziness is the new boredom and this song a hymn to the revolutionary misfits who never quite manage to get it together man. You know who you are….

2 Ghost Camp [prelude]- [Peculiar/Gannon] Co written with Craig Gannon for ‘The Ghost Camp’ a 4 episode radio play penned by Leslie Holmes. "The Ghost Camp" was based on a weird event at Salford Lads' Club in WW2. It premiered on Salford Community Radio in June 2005 and went on to win a national award

3 Get Well Soon [Peculiar] - recorded in Studio Sound, Rochdale featuring a well dark and groovy Markus [the mighty lemon dropper] on bass. Recorded August 2005, engineered by Spooner, it was originally a contender for the Fall and Rise album but got sidestepped in the pursuit of sonic cohesion. Sounds like proper bad day at the hairdressers…
