You may recall a couple years back Jimi performed on the Irish TV show ‘Other Voices’ in Dingle Ireland. Other Voices have just released a live compilation Other Voices: Series 10, Vol. 1 (Live) via the usual online digital music platforms such as itunes, Amazon etc. Included on the album is Jimi’s performance of Panic Tree. Also worth looking out for is a couple Cherry Ghost tracks!

Thanks to Nick for the heads up!

If you are planning to head out to see Elbow/Jimi next April and fancy writing about it for the blog, drop me a note! Would love to hear from you. For those of you asking about other dates/album info there isn’t much concrete info available right now. As soon as info is available, it will be posted on this blog, Jimi’s site and the usual social media pages.

6 Music’s Elizabeth Alker briefly spoke to Jimi over the phone. The interview is being broadcast over several shows on 6 Music, you can listen to now view the iplayer here. It starts about 1hr 45m in.

Jimi Goodwin has been announced as support on Elbow’s April 2014 UK arena tour. Head over to jimigoodwin.com for all the dates, ticket links and to sign up for forthcoming announcements. Stay tuned…

The promised solo album by Cherry Ghost’s Simon Aldred aka Out Cold gets released on Monday (Sept 16th) via Heavenly Recordings.

Having been giving a sneak preview of the album, I genuinely could not recommend this record highly enough. Forget everything you know of Simond Alrdred’s Cherry Ghost sound, this record goes off on a completely different highway. Highlights include the catchy lead single All I Want, the groovy My Cruel Heart and the monster title track Invasion of Love. Its an earphones record, plenty layers that will keep you going back exploring new sounds. It should also sound great on the record player!

Ransom Note has the full album up for your streaming pleasure, go check it out. The album is available in the UK via all good record stores/online sites. You can grab it via Heavenly too.. tip if yer outside the UK these folks have good postage rates and they are usually pretty quick.

Order the album now

There is still bugger all to report at the moment. Last I heard, Jimi is trying to get a record deal. The entire Eden gig of 2010 is now up on Youtube from Push Me On to Spaceface. See it all on YouTube

Cherry Ghost’s Simon Aldred is about to put out a solo album titled Invasion of Love in August under the name Out Cold. We got a sneek peak a little while back with the brilliantly catchy All I Want that hit the social media sites. Last week Clash Music offered up a free track Fingers Through The Glass for free, get it here.

An intriguing project, love the groove on Fingers Through The Glass. A real refreshing sound, the guitars have not been completely thrown away, they have just been buried deep in the mix. I for one cannot wait to hear the rest of the album!

Push Me On from Doves performance at the Eden Project back in 2010. Apparently more vids are to follow!

A wee peak into Jimi’s countryside studio thanks to @JakeEvans

As pointed out though, worryingly there is nobody actually working in the studio! So with that who knows when the album will be released! That said I’m reliably informed its coming along nicely.

Word has it that Jez is no longer involved with Raized By Wolves, and has not been since last October!  Jez & Andy are working on a project together that they hope to have finished in July.

Great news! Of course Jimi is still working on his project, but lets hope we get some new material sometime later this year!

New music from Jez & Martin’s project Raized by Wolves. The tracks are Ghosts &  She Loves The Music plus the instrumentals for both. They add that they are finishing the record!

That is Justin Velor (who usually goes by Dom Thomas) featuring Jez Williams. a bit of a psychedelic beast! Loving that tune, looking forward to the album.
