Exclusive Download for 2000 Trees Festival goers!

So it has been a while since I last had any new releases :(
The good news is that I have two coming up very soon!  Firstly, for all those lucky enough to have tickets for the rather brilliant 2000 Trees Festival, there will be 100 limited edition picture postcards available from the 'Istartedthefire' stand.  Each will have a unique download code for two new tracks which were recorded during a home session earlier in the year with producer and engineer extraordinaire Marcus Jenkins! You will have to grab them fast as they are a relative steal at £1 each . . .

The next release will be around mid September. I am pleased to say that it is going to be a mini-album coming out on Istartedthefire Records.  The sessions with Birmingham-based producer Michael Clarke have been going great so far.  We have the drums, acoustic guitar and vocals down and next up will be banjo, hamonies, bass and hopefully some strings :) We are excited for you to hear the finished songs! 

Stay tuned for release dates folks . . .
Much love
Joe x
