about

Pete Aves can turn his hand to just about anything, and melodies pulse through his bloodstream as he switches effortlessly between genres. A joy.’

Record Collector
****
‘The High Llama’s first solo album in five years sounds like latter day Kevin Rowland in its richly sung idiosyncratic diversity;wistful and darkly funny.’

Mojo
****
‘Exquisite lyrical and musical wit, clear eyed and gently charming. Songwriting that is unassuming, smart and quietly affecting.’

Uncut 7/10

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

supported by 4 fans who also own “Sweet Are The Uses-digital.”

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
