After the disastrous ending to Newborn Creatures, and the parting of ways from the management, I am picking myself up and starting again. Although I am, in fact, returning to the half begun music that was put on hold while Newborn Creatures was being created.
Next month, hopefully, Alistair will visit and we will sort out what's useable and what needs to happen and what music will fit which words and maybe, just maybe, there might be a plan...
Fingers crossed.

Newborn Creatures Promo Tastery thing
Thought you might like to see this, Lee's made a lovely short film with little bits of songs and Catherine's pictures
Newborn Creatures teaser:-)
and to say that I was finally given the Talkawhile Hancock Award for Best Original Song for 'Harpsong' at this year's Fairport's Cropredy Convention Festival. At the bar! Lots of lovely Talkawhilers and I hope I can put a picture of the award here. It has my name on it but it was a joint composition between myself, Alistair Murphy and Tim Bowness. I should have been given the award during 2010, but I didn't do any gigs so they couldn't give it to me before :-)
Anyway, it's very beautiful and is made of stained glass..
It reads:
2010 Hancock
The Talkawhile Folk Awards
Best Original Song
Harpsong
Judy Dyble
voted for by the members of the Folk Corporation ‘Talkawhile’ Bulletin Board, in memory of their much loved colleague Carey ‘Ces’ Hancock. His love of folk (and rock) music produced many lively debates and humorous opinions (mostly his). It is in the spirit of Carey’s devotion to live and recorded music of many genres and his appreciation of the talents that created it, that this award is given
Isn’t that lovely?
More news soon....

Newborn Creatures...delayed oh dear...
...and the news is that plans for the release of Newborn Creatures hit a few buffers and had a few hiccups, but I am working on sorting a new release mechanism (as they call it)..
I'm sorry to be cryptic and vague but I will tell you all when I know what's what..
It's all been a bit disheartening, but onwards and upwards...

News , News, Interview and News....
.
Partially co-written by Lee Fletcher, who also produced and, mixed and partially co-written by Markus Reuter both of whom played on all the tracks, and with contributions by, amongst others, Steve Bingham, Alan Burton, Luca Calabrese, BJ Cole, and many brilliant others, (there's a list on Lee's website) it sounds gorgeous, - one cover of a Scott Walker Song and the rest self penned and co-written. I am really looking forward to sending it out into the world..
If you can find a copy of the latest Classic Rock Presents Prog (Issue No 16 out today 20th April!) there is a five page interview about wot I have done, with pictures and lovely natterings from some of the people I have worked with over the years and best of all (but for UK purchasers only) a CD sampler of my work, 2 songs from Newborn Creatures, 2 from Talking With Strangers and 3 demo tracks from my dim and distant (and in one case not so distant) past which will be on the Anthology for release later in the year. I hope.
Here's a pic of the front and back cover of the sampler CD
both with artwork used in the TWS album by the lovely Jackie Morris and that is the end of todays news xxxxFriday, 7 January 2011
Oh My Giddy Aunt........
I've just remembered to look at this and discovered that it's been 6 months since I last wrote anything.. Sorry! Been a bit busy, what with having another dose of sciatica, back in August and then having another back operation to sort it out. And then it's taken absolutely ages to recover from the resulting damaged nerves in my legs. Just about able to stomp about fairly normally now, but I do tend to fall over if I stand on one leg. Very hard to put my wellies on I can tell you....
But the new album has progressed and is now in it's final mixing stages.. 2 songs left to be tweaked and it will be ready for mastering. Hooray! Lee has worked so hard on the productions and tweakings.
Artwork for these Newborn Creatures is being prepared by yet another fantastic artist, Catherine Hyde . I am so privileged and honoured to be able to use her work on this album as I have been to use the work of Jackie Morris on Talking With Strangers. Both such stunning artists, each very different, but who seem to be able to match their work to my music. Fantastic! Gringringrin!!
Through various illnesses and delays and problems, some of the plans in 2010, didn't go as, errr, planned. Grey October Day as a single release was delayed, but will still probably go ahead sometime this year..the limited edition of the vinyl Fragile ep was held up by many hiccups, not least of which was the weather and the Trader Horne vinyl reissue was also delayed, mainly because it needed to be absolutely perfect and it took a while to become so.. but that is being packed up and sent off imminently.. So I am really sorry for any angst, but they are on their way....
What else..? Ah yes the sad news of the death of my little brother in California, where he has lived for 30 years. He could play a mean brass watering can, and I had hoped one day to have him perform live on stage. So sad.. RIP Stephen..
Jolly fab news that Richard T has been awarded an OBE. I am really delighted that his wonderful talent has been recognised in this way... Excellent !!
And also that Mr Blackbird has finally returned to steal grapes from the kitchen.

Talking With Strangers launch at the 100Club review and an interview
A bit late but here is a review by Brian Hinton of the launch gig of Talking With Strangers at the 100 club back in August last year and an interview by Ian Maun
Both are here on the S.I.I.Y.E site of Geoff Wall
Am I becoming big headed..?
Will I demand socks made from llama's eyelashes on future gig riders.. ?
Anything's possible.. ;-)
