about
Lyric by Anna Lavigne about her time in Japan with Lindsay Kemp, Carlos Miranda and blind trapeze artist Jack
lyrics
Harajuku Punks
Out in Japan it feels so strange
Where pollenated cultures are all the rage
See seventy seven revived again
In a far off corner in a Japanese den
With the ancient gardens oozing out zen
That were manicured by quiet men
But those wondrous temples graced by the monks
Are a zillion miles apart from the city street punks
In Tokyo Shibuya at any time of day
Trip down Takeshita street you’ll see out on display
The punks of Harajuku the brave ones who dare
Ride the Kinki Nippon Railway as the old codgers stare
The punks of Harajuku have found their own kind
Gathering outsiders with the blues far behind
Dressed in chains and leathers feeding upon the shock
Housing all the misfits in this park of the old punk rock
In Tokyo, Shibuya at any time of day
Trip down Takeshita street you’ll see out on display
The punks of Harajuku the brave ones who dare
Ride the Kinki Nippon Railway while old codgers stare

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

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6

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.
