...ALL THE GHOSTS...

***NEWSFLASH NEWSFLASH NEWSFLASH***

You can now pre-order your copy of 'All the Ghosts' from Play.com or Amazon.

-------
Here are a few Herbert highlights: past, present and future.

Past:
- Getting as camp as Christmas with the London Gay Men’s Chorus as a special guest in their musical feast of fluffy festive fabulousness.
- Celebrating the 'Art of News' in a collaborative project with the London Sinfonietta, alongside funnyman Simon Munnery, wordyman John Hegley, and narrowman Nathan Penlington.

Present:
- Finishing new album 'All the Ghosts', mixed and mastered under the eagle ear of Robert Harder
- Receiving the artwork for the package, designed by supremely talented artist and generally lovely man Keemo.
- Playing cosy little gigs with Will at adorable Streatham pub Earl Ferrers. It's worth it for the food alone.

Future:
- Releasing 'All the Ghosts' in May, on Monkeywood Records. Launch and surrounding tour dates to follow…
- Collaborating again with astonishing key-wizard Gwilym Simcock. I have just forgiven him for decisively beating me in the BBC Jazz Awards 3 years ago, and decided we can be friends. He blessed our songs with his beautiful tinklings in Buxton this month. We’re hopefully playing together again at the Pizza Dean Street in November.

If you've been to a gig recently, you'll have met some of the new characters that have been seeping into the show... Russian hookers and narrow men and horny sirens and drunken dead-beats... You can find lyrics HERE.
