***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
