The Summer E.P (1997)

LongMan Records proudly announces the completion of John Douglas Clark's album "Horse" which is now on sale. This half album, half sound installation has been described variously as 'Ivor Cutler meets Pink Floyd' and 'John Shuttleworth meets Prof. Stanley Unwin'. Album producer Richard Durrant says "Don't be lulled into a sense of false security by the first track. This album, like John himself, isn't something you stumble across every day. A stiff drink before your first listening may be advisable".

Audiences at Richard's monthly Airport Club have taken to singing track four, 'Daadeedum' as a sort of pre-gig Mantra, whilst the title track 'Horse' has heightened the keen anticipation for the scheduled sub-atomic collision in Cern early next year that could shed light on the mysterious 'Higgs Boson' thus providing new insight into the very substance of substance. The title track dances a strange route from the opening bars, featuring the whirr of a slightly loose overhead cambelt on an ageing Toyota engine, via a lumbering, hemiolic carthorse travelling at Superluminal speeds, to a blackbird in full song in a Shoreham garden.

The album was begun in the summer of 2006 and completed in October of this year. It features the playing of Tom Arnold, Philippe Barnes, Dirk Campbell, Malcolm Mortimore, Frank Semus, Jez Wiles and Richard Durrant with John himself on keyboards and voice. John appears as a sort of narrator and only sings on ocassional tracks. Perhaps the most noteworthy of these lead vocals is responsible for the life affirming sanguinity of 'Daadeedum'.

Richard will be playing two special, candlelit guitar recitals in Sussex this year.

The first will be on Friday December 7th in the beautiful village of Wilmington. St Mary's Church is at the top of the village, next door to the 11th century Priory where Richard used to live and very close to the mysterious "Long Man" of Wilmington.

The following day's concert is at the other end of the county in the town of Midhurst.

Both concerts, starting at 7.30pm, will include suitably seasonal music to match the candlelit atmosphere of these wonderful buildings. Click Here to buy tickets

Following the initial success of Simon Stewart's debut album "Across the Land", we've decided to re-release it in January.

It means we can give the album some well deserved extra promotional push. We'll publish a release date on this site as soon as we know - and the withdrawal period will be as brief as possible. In the meantime you can still buy copies of the album and downloads of each track from this site.

Simon's song "Oh My Love" was voted No.2 in the Mojo Magazine Readers' Playlist and there'll be a review in the next issue of Rock 'n' Reel Magazine. If you want to hear Simon live get along to Richard Durrant's Airport Club at Ropetackle Arts Centre in Shoreham, Sussex on the second Friday of each month.
