Ian’s 4x4 EP project

OK folks, in 2026 I am recording and releasing a sequence of 4 x 4-song EPs - representing 30-odd years of songwriting. Who's with me?

All 4 EPs are £0/£1/pay-what-you-want. Any money received will be spent on recording costs (hey, we might even splash out on some actual album art).

I will be assisted by the Somebody Else's Troubles Engine Room of Rich Haylock on drumming and Ben Reece on bass - plus hopefully other collaborators from the Family Troubles and beyond.

EP1, Dead Man's Lake, is available to pre-order now.

As a thank you, you will receive an email giving immediate access to a free download of Orphan Songs: a statement-of-intent EP of songs which never fitted into any other projects.

Thank you for your support,

Ian
