Here's a magical live video for you to witch
I mean... a magical live video for you to WATCH, of course! π
It's from the Calendar II album launch at the Eagle in Salford. Full video is available to Bandcamp/Patreon subscribers. This song is actually from Calendar I but keep it under your hat eh? π€«
All of the Behind The Song blogs from my album Calendar - Volume 1 are now available on Substack. Here's the first look behind Chapter 2...

Calendar III will be given a public release later in 2026.
Have a happy new year.

Their support, both financial and otherwise, has been so integral. There would be no album without them, there would be maybe be no 'me'... and that is why they receive the album a year before its public release.
The third and final part of the album has been released track-by-track to those Patreon and Bandcamp subscribers who have helped me to continue to make music.
12 years ago in 2014, I wrote a piece of music each week of the year. Part journal, part experiment, part fever dream. Those songs have undergone transformations and rewrites, and have finally arrived as the Calendar album; a three part album released between 2022 and now.
The final track to be released from the Calendar III album, by Granfalloon, is out today.
'VadΓ NevadΓ' is inspired by the 1966 film 'Daisies' by VΔra ChytilovΓ‘.
And tonight at 7pm UK time tune into www.twitch.tv/granfalloonm... to join me for the last Granfalloon live stream of the year.
A new songwriting blog AND a live stream on the same day??? Is it Xmas already?

See you soon.
