about

The Music for Stairlifts albums started as an experiment to improvise music based on a limited set of instruments - importantly, with no drums. All tracks feature Rhodes piano, 6-string Fretless bass, Nylon strung and 12/6 semi-acoustic Double-Neck guitar, and two voices.

This second volume picks up where the first left off with ten new, fresh tunes deep in the ambient acoustic space of 'Stairlifts.' Visit a universe filled with pretty teashops, brooding dragons, hot air balloons, and dancing penguins.

"..like music beamed from an earlier, more innocent time.. a more assertive Nick Drake." (Prog magazine)
‘..mixes a dry wit with a wonderfully observant line in lyrics’ (The Waiting Room) ... more

While I play with these folk, I wasn't involved in this, but what a wonderful song cycle based around one of Joanne's modern folklore stories. Just lovely Duncan Parsons
