Felt Music release Trevor Midgley's "Golden Domes"...

Some friends and associates may recall a couple of years back Felt Music (in association with Cherry Red Records) released a batch of twenty of my instrumental tunes for use in commercials, documentaries, dramas and the like. These were put out under the ‘Trevor Midgley’ name on a set titled “Travelling The Highway”.

That project has proved quite successful – one of the pieces, “Beachcomber”, has been taken up by Aspall’s Cyder in a national advertising campaign.

I’m delighted to announce that Felt Music have this very day issued a second ‘Trevor Midgley’ set, this time consisting of twelve electronic compositions again aimed at the “supportive background music” sector.

The new collection’s called “Golden Domes” and this is the cover; not exactly Beau-ish, but wholly in keeping with the sounds!

So, if we have any budding movie-makers out there…

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

I’m delighted to tell you just today Cherry Red and I have sorted out the details for a brand new Beau release for 2024! We’re looking to an April release, so stay tuned!
 
I must however take issue with a (granted, prog rock) critic who, a few months back, opined how “Beau’s recorded sixteen albums, and once you’ve heard one, you’ve heard them all.”
 
Appalling slipshod journalism such as this must be condemned in the strongest possible terms; it is actually seventeen…
 
Watch this space; #18’s on its way!

Babysue recommends "Deep In The Dark"...

A neat little sum-up of “Deep In The Dark” from the U.S. babysue site! Cheers for the mench, guys – appreciated!
 
“Some of you will remember a cool album that came out a while back entitled Edge of the Dark by a super talented British artist named Beau.  The good news is that he has just released his seventeenth (!) album that features 20 tracks.  Entitled Deep In The Dark: Unreleased Rarities 1971-1991, this one is being made available by the fine folks at Cherry Red Records.  Recommended.”

"Deep In The Dark" charting with Amazon...

Rather pleasing!

This may not look much – #10 in Amazon’s chart – but “Deep In The Dark – Unreleased Rarities 1971-1991 is being classed as ROCK, not Folk; and Rock is a much bigger pool.

So many thanks to everyone who’s investing. I hope you’re liking what you hear!
