It sounds a bit like my voice but it's not. It's a badly tuned radio, no significance in or record of what was being said. G

Have you ever considered releasing a collection of demos outside of the HONY demo CD? I (and I think others) would be super interested in hearing the evolution of songs, especially on an album like No Blues!

Question about a Los Camp! Christmas— for whatever reason, that EP always felt a lot closer to the sort of stuff Rob did in his Sparky Deathcap discography, as compared to Los Camp’s LP discography. Was he more involved in the writing/production on that album? How did that album even come to be?

The version of 'The Holly & The Ivy' was arranged and recorded by Rob, and is his lead vocal, so that explains that one! But the other originals were written by Tom and myself, and recorded by Tom. Perhaps if there's a sonic similarity it's because the tracks were recorded at Tom and Rob's flat, and in a rehearsal space, lending that homespun feel, rather than the more polished sound we're used to in a fancy studio.

Will try to answer the other half of the Q in a festive newsletter! G

I’ve wondered about that as well! I love listening to the Christmas EP, especially when December rolls around.

Gareth / Kim- is it ever awkward when Gareth shares lyrics he’s written and they’re a bit ~ saucy ~(eg Straight in at 101) ?
