Our Big Bonanza Shipwrecked is tomorrow, and we can't wait. It's at @futureyard.org and we've been working on a few things to make it special.

Some are saying 'This Blue Earth' is the greatest album of 2025. We agree. Largely because that's us saying it.

But either way, amidst the flurry of End of Year album lists we're not yet making, we'd recommend you get to know it

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

I ask you.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

It's Bandcamp Friday again, which is always a big help for daft lads like us.
We've reduced the price of our latest album, 'This Blue Earth' on CD & vinyl so those who are yet to get their mitts on it can do so, and can be more like Stanley..

Imagine being around for this, the birth of Rocksteady - it must have been absolutely magic.

Today's Sunday Service is all about this glorious, if brief, scene. No chatter, just Rocksteady.

The Sunday Service returns!
The summer has handed in its P45 and is working its notice while autumn settles in, so how about some Rocksteady Reggae Soul to help soothe us all on this Day of Rest?
A half hour mix of classic Rocksteady, with no chatter..

We've needed a bit of recuperation since the big launch of This Blue Earth, and are now gearing ourselves for getting out and about across the UK next year - we're doing most things ourselves, so does anyone have any good promoters in other cities they'd recommend!?
