Our teams of umpa-lumpas have been working away night and day to get things ready for you, and now at last we can unveil the pre-order copies of 'Fly Yellow Moon', my first solo record, including a deluxe edition available exclusively - YES, EXCLUSIVELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (!) .. ! == ** ! - through my website.There's basically two versions: one is just the "regular" album on cd, and there's nowt wrong with that.But the one that I'm most excited about is the deluxe edition - you get the entire album on heavyweight vinyl, another copy of it on cd, and then you also get a bonus cd with another 10 unreleased songs from the same album sessions. These tracks aren't being made available anywhere else for the foreseeable future, so this is what we in the business call a GOOD, COOL THING. I'm genuinely just as attached to these bonus tracks as I am to the ones on the main album: I just always had it in my head that Fly Yellow Moon should only have 10 songs on it, so all these other ones had to be put to the side. But they very much come from the same place and were recorded in the same, relaxed spirit; half of them are very stripped down and acoustic, the other half wear all kinds of costumes. It's really nice to know they're being made available instead of laying dormant on my laptop for years, so - yeah - if you're able to set aside £25, i hope you'll really feel it's worth it and enjoy them.Also included in the deluxe edition is a 16-page vinyl booklet designed by my friend Denis, which contains loads of photos from the shoot my other friend (i do have at least 2 friends) David took with me on a weekend in Norfolk earlier in the year. There's also hand-written lyrics for all 20 songs. And finally there's a double-sided poster, made up of two of David's prints, ideal for livening up the walls of an office, children's play area or wine cellar. I'll also be scribbling my signature of approval somewhere on each copy.There are some tickets left for Fyfe's solo shows in January. Please go to www.fyfedangerfield.com for more details.

Current mood:  awake
HELLO ..  i am very pleased to say that after years of laying dormant,The Courtesy Group's debut album "Tradesman's Entrance" is finally being released on Ma Doocey Records, via Cargo. . and it's out NOW!

I play guitar on the record, and a bit of keyboards and hitty things. .and am very proud of this record, thus my posting such said details here on this page. Reviews are coming in almost as I type, but STEWART LEE AT THE SUNDAY TIMES SAYS THIS, which is dead nice, and some dude at Amazon says some very cool things about it if you scroll down THIS page.

I can't work out how to link to the album on I-Tunes, but it's up there, at the very reasonable price of £7.99, which includes a digital booklet with the lyrics and some photos in it. (n.b. if you buy this and the booklet comes out funny when you download it, drag it into Adobe or something and it should be fine. . it came out a bit odd on mine but  no-one else has so far had a problem so maybe my Mac's just on the pills or something).

And for those of you that prefer to get physical, you can order the record via Cargo HERE, or via Ma Doocey Records HERE on our Myspace page, where THIS BLOG ALSO HAS A LNIK FOR YOU TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE LYRICS, which might be useful for you if you're ordering a physical copy of the record, since they're not printed inside. I guess I'm biased because Al, the group's singer and lyricist, is also my brother, but I think they're pretty amazing lyrics and deserve to be read by, well, anyone that enjoys reading.

So - YEAH! THE COURTESY GROUP! I'm trying to do gigs with the band whenever time allows so will be posting more details up here soon. But please go and investiage, yes, investiage - I guess I should add that it's nothing like Guillemots or my forthcoming record, but if you like having your head screwed by lashings of noise and spiel then this might well be what you need.

Okay .. will write more soon - no massive news but we're just finishing getting the deluxe edition of  my own album ready (honestly, we really are this time), really excited about this - I imagine in a few days time I'll be posting up here what exactly you'll be getting if you order this magic bundle.

Until then..

X
Fyff.

Hello . . .this is Fyfe from Guillemot land. . .hope everyone is well. . just a quick note, this, to say - well, firstly that Guillemots are alive and well, we've been writing tonnes of new music and songs for our next record, and we're now starting to meet producers and make the first steps towards getting into a studio to start recording it! Which is all very exciting .. it almost feels as if we're starting over again.. .

But anyway, the purpose of this email is just to say that, in the new year, i have a record of my own coming out, called "Fly Yellow Moon" - it's 10 songs that I recorded, mainly, just before last Christmas, with a few additions this year. . nothing fancy.. . just some songs I'd written that I wanted to put down very quickly, and they somehow seemed like they weren't really Guillemots songs. . so yes . .there it is, and I'm really chuffed it's coming out .. 

So, here is a link to my new website which should be up by tomorrow (Wed) - the imaginatively titled, where you can find out a bit more.. .

www.fyfedangerfield.com <http://www.fyfedangerfield.com>

Sources close to the ground say that Mr. Zane Lowe will be aurally introducing this record to the world - well, one song from it anyway - on his RADIO ONE show tonight, that's TUESDAY people. and the track he's hopefully going to be playing (i say hopefully because I think we did a mailout about a radio play before and then the record ended up not being played.. so this time i cover myself yes? UUUHH) will also be available as a free download if you join up to the website. A little taster, if you will.

Anyway, there's more information on said website, so stop reading this and go there, friend, well from tomorrow at least.

Alright - thank you all, for just about everything

X Fyfe

Warchild is a charity, Guillemots are big supporters of and you may remember they did a night at Brixton Academy for them a while back. Fyfe has been asked to join the brilliant Alsion Balsom (Classical Brit Winner) and a host of other classical and pop artists collaborating  at a very special event in aid of Warchild on Nov 28th in London. For more information on how to get a ticket to this unique and worthwhile event go to www.warchild.org.uk
