Current Projects

Current work in progress by Peter Earp and Roger Betts.

People who listened to GIDEON were keen to hear a follow up album and so GIDEON 2 – DREAMSCAPE WARRIOR was written. It is near completion and we are very excited.

The Story

Once more unto the Realm, a dreamscape to be found on the other side of midnight. A place where the weaker gravitational pull will give beings from our dimension an advantage, making them stronger, faster, and even more agile but sadly not wiser.
After eighteen months of therapy under the care of Doctor Emily Dalton, Gideon still believes in his heart that the dreamscape known as the Realm truly exists and that his adventures there were all real. In all her years of practice this extremely level-headed psychoanalyst in her mid-thirties, had never come across a case like that of Gideon Slater. Never before had she had to deal with a patient so passionate in his delusional beliefs. Because of this she has grown rather fond of young Gideon.
Following a road traffic accident which left him in a coma, Gideon finds himself projected back to the throne room of Shetraza only to discover the Realm is on the verge of total destruction. Charged with the task of reforming the Brotherhood, journeying to a parallel world and preventing a global disaster of epic proportions, the Defender of The Crown accepts his quest.
On reuniting with his comrades and airing his disappointment to Lavania that she didn’t travel to his existence to back up his claims, the High Priestess transports Emily Dalton across the dimensional void, to give Gideon his proof. Now is the time to make a stand against the dark. Now is the time to once more fight for what is right and so it begins.

In the Making – Ludicrous!

Based on life events from the book Miserable Old Sods, by Pete Scully Earp.
The album we are about to inflict on the poor unsuspecting minds of Joe Public, is a compilation of material and events taken from the rich tapestry of life but viewed from the humorous side. Such song titles as, That Bloody Oven, Miserable Old Sods and Bimbos on Patrol, say it all as well as delving into the festive domain from the 'bah humbug!' point of view, Jolly Bloody Jingles!
2020 has been a harsh unpredictable year to say the least, so what better than an attempt at making people smile. We all know at times life is most definitely ludicrous and much more interesting than fiction so, watch this space and for the new album!

Coming Soon. The new Album from THE CHAH

THE CHAH's third album following her wonderful albums "STILLNESS IN WHISPERS" and "SOMETHING STOLEN" is being created.

It is as yet unnamed but already the songs recorded are terrific. Her song writing talent is reflected by her skillful delivery.
I cannot wait to put some clips onto this site for you to listen. Please leave a message through the Contact Us page so that I can send you samples and keep you updated.

In the Making. The new Dogends EP

The Dogends are writing new original material for their up and coming EP. This will contain songs as only done in The Dogends style so should be good.
