New EP from Mole released 15th December

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/black-eggs-single/1318249628

Here is the final EP before the release of the album in April. It is fantastic and includes a couple of the string and horn arrangements I worked on last summer with J Maizlish Mole (see the liner notes supplied with the EP) Plus of course grand piano and Fender Rhodes piano. A snip at £3.00 (or above if you feel generous!) Go on: treat yourself for Christmas.
