Live @ Glasgow Pavillion 1990
A gem of a release entitled Live @ Glasgow Pavilion
A brilliant gig still talked about to this day, somehow found its way into Martin’s hands after a gig a a few years back.
We do know it was mixed and recorded by our sound man Mr Gerard Rolfe, whose company Coast to Coast hailed from Bradford.
This is the Daintees in effortless swing, “an absolutely brilliant gig” were the words of our mastering engineer Mark Lough last week as he was busy mastering.
The sound quality is outstanding with just one of two authentic crackles.

lyrics
Endurance
She tries to walk and free her heart
The weather stalls the angry march
As if a friend…
Her giving hands can give no more
How can she bear this heavy load
Such a cross to bear…
And just before she throws it all
The gift for life within her calls
Its holy call…
But if this road is for endurance
If endurance means a son
If endurance means a marriage
Then the pain is fun, purely fun
His forearms tend his crying head
Echoing leaving things and yells
Lonely yells…
If this was this and that was that
The sobbing eases as he stands
Such a lonely stand…
And just before he blows it all
The gift for life within him calls
Its holy call…
But if this road is for endurance
If endurance means a son
If endurance means a marriage
The pain is fun, purely fun

Guillemot Days whisks us to a glistening shoreline, awash with 10 sublime songs full of serene hope. Compelling right from the buoyant opener Edge Of The World and Butterfly overflows with soaring, twangy sunshine. For a fave, so close with the lush vocals, melodic layers of Flowers Of Hope versus Peace And Plenty: an intriguing, modern parlour song both eerie and exquisite, voices and clarinet blending into something quite special. This album is a musical lighthouse on a dark day. Unmissable. anitajoyce
What a tribute, I haven’t the words to say how this group have been the soundtrack to my life, through good and bad.
Anything that helps is the least I can do, missed dearly. Joe Zux
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
Swill's Sunday night Facebook live gigs have been a rare high point in a terrible year. A superb singer and songwriter, in fine voice and the guitars sounding gorgeous. A great collection of some fine moments and some TMTCH tracks rarely heard live for years.
