NEW SOLO INSTRUMENTAL CD - OUT NOW!

"THE DANCE OF THE DEMON DAFFODILS" is now available through the merchandising pages of the website, even though it may not say so for a few days! This is a CD consisting entirely of original compositions, performed on the full range of JK's push-pull squeezeboxes. One or two of the tunes have seen the light of day before, but most of these performances deliver world premieres.

The CD is aimed to tie in with the imminent appearance of "Jump at the Sun" - the John Kirkpatrick Tunebook - currently being prepared for publication by Mick Lynn of Quarry Bank Publishing. More news of this as it comes, but the book will contain over 130 tunes.
