So Ive finished my new EP which I hope you all think is going to be ace a fuck.

In the meantime, here are a few demos that didnt make the cut and would never make the cut cos they are not right. I hope you dont think are too sad or anything but if you listen to all 5 tracks in order its a free EP innit which i kinda like.

Hope you like, and wait a few more weeks for something proper special, promise!

love jim x

Just been looking through the archives and i chanced upon a remix i did once for a lady called Skye. She was the excellent singer of Morcheba and this is her solo single remixed by yours truly.  Its track 3 on the player


I think its nice so i thought id show and tell

We'll see how long this lasts but i've stepped into the future, or the past if you were already in the future in the past. Whatever

Well we though these recordings were gone, left to melt into the ether, broken and dusted into an old tramps sodden cider ridden pocket. But NO!

Someone realised that when Jim and the Beep Seals played an old spider infested ex beareded gardners armpit in Scarbrough, this thing should be recorded for historic purposes! Only NOW so we get to hear the tickle of drummer Ian Smith's itchy arse on stage whilst guitarist Jack Cooper moaned about the fact that he prefered square cut sandwiches to triangle! Only NOW do we heat the truth about about keyboard player Phil (phingers) Andersons insistance that only people over 5 foot 8 were allowed into the dressing room at any time. And not to mention lead singer and drinker driver Jim Noir's obsession with straight chairs.

Only NOW can we get to the truth.

And here it is in all its stereo glory, LIVE, UNTOUCHED, NAKED













*Anyway here's a good gig we did years ago, enjoy

I made a song for you and you can download it for free. Just as a thanks for enjoying the sound of Noir! x

Firstly we'd like to thank all of you who came to see us in London and Manchester last week. The band had a blast and hopefully you did too.

The new album is now available to buy in all good shops/digital platforms etc. Buy it, it's the best yet and you can't get a better recommendation than that!
We've also confirmed some new live shows over the next couple of months, and we'll hopefully have plenty more to add soon too...

Ok, tomorrow sees the release of the album in the shops in the UK.
But if you can't wait - or if you want that little bit extra - you can buy the album from iTunes with two extra tracks on it.

just copy and paste this into your browser..
