After more than five years with Coup de Grass, Andrew (Finchley Central) Noyes has decided to hang up his dungarees and is opting for pastures new. He has been an enthusiastic and loyal band member since he took over from Nancy in the Spring of 2006 and will be missed not only by the other members of the lineup but also by those (and there were plenty of them), who thought his rendition of 'Your Cheatin' Heart' was among the best they had heard. The Tamworth Festival in Australia, plenty of folk festivals and clubs in this country, the 'AFTER THE TREACLE' CD, he was an important part of all of them and we wish him well....Finchley's place in the lineup is to be filled by Tony (Cousin Will) Buch.

Happy to announce that through a collaboration with Paradise Cove Records, Keith Pearson's music is now available for download through Amazon. The first album in the series of archive releases (Don't say a word) is now online and there will be more to follow.

Paradise Cove Records is a proudly independent record label, launched in the 21st Century. The label specializes in bringing music that is too easily overlooked by the digital generation, specializing in reissuing long unavailable works in digital and limited run physical formats. From folk to psychedelic space rock (!) Paradise Cove will bring it to the world if we believe in it. Artists include the legendary musician Keith Pearson, singer songwriter Jon Nickoll and Cambridge folk rock duo The Pearson Brothers. Keith Pearson on Amazon

New Album?

It's been a while since the release of the last CDG CD 'AFTER THE TREACLE' and the current thinking seems to be that the band should get back into the studio and start recording for a new collection. There are no definite dates yet but the 'Orchard Cottage' studio in Willingham is on standby for the Autumn or Winter and the writing and arranging of new material is under way.
