THE HOBBY HORSES
The Hobby Horses (UK) are Denise Weston and Shaun Belcher….
Their combined musical adventures drift in like a summer shower of avant garde art and jazz mixed with short sharp blasts of anglocana electro-folk.
DARK WEATHER
Eco-poetry set to electronica soundscapes
Dark Weather will be a collection of of my poems written over 40 years which tackle the environmental crisis as set out so well in Bill McKibben’s ‘End of Nature.That book had a profound effect on me in 1989.
Alongside the book (in preparation) I am recording spoken word with music backing tracks for each poem.

THE TRAILER STAR STORY
Black River is purportedly the final album from Trailer Star, the last in a line of intriguing releases swathed in a mythology summoned from the mind of the man behind it all, Shaun Belcher, Originally Trailer Star was meant to be a legendary Berkshire bluesman who met an untimely end. As his executor Belcher was able to release a series of cassettes and CDs of his music. This culminated in a well received tribute album Moon Over the Downs where Belcher was able to corral a bunch of artists to cover his songs. Now he’s decided to draw to a close this episode with Black River stating
This is Trailer Star’s final and exhaustive round up. All tracks recorded between 2005-2010. These are all the late great Trailer’s recorded tracks and signals the final volume in the three CD Trailer Archive series from Tstar records.
It’s hard going at times but glory can come from misery. The fragility and the feeling of being on the edge of toppling over is balanced by the skeletal beauty of the songs.
