Yesterday Emma and I were in Ranscombe Studios in Rochester recording our new album Throop (a fan club exclusive) Named after the artist-writer-musician Ron Throop who did the front and back cover album paintings. Not commissions, I didn’t think of it till after I saw the one of me on his Instagram. He used his only remaining United Airlines blanket for a joint portrait of Charles Thomson and Eamon Everall. Full story on his substack. See video above for the Jim Riley makeshift kaleidoscope lens filter.

As well as those on Throop we recorded Only Need, Is it any wonder why and Say you like. Guess they’ll go on our next album.

Throop is the third studio album Edgeworth Band have recorded at Ranscombe Studios. Emma didn’t play on the first album, Studious, so we re-recorded a couple/few of the Studious songs on Emma’s First Ranscombe. We’ll probably get Emma versions of other Studious songs on future albums.

Edgeworth Band studio albums:
1. Studious (available on YouTube)
2. Emma’s First Ranscombe (covers available on YouTube, originals Fan Club exclusive)
3. Throop (Fan Club exclusive)
