My ‘Monsters In The Christmas Album’ EP, which I was offering for free during the holiday season is now offline. Thanks everyone for showing interest in my festive music, I’ve had a lot of downloads… and a lot of fun… So I am very happy right now.

You can still get my music on the music section of the site. Aaaaand there will be more goodies coming along shortly, so don’t forget to sign-up to the newsletter, follow me on Facebook or Twitter to be in touch!

As promised, I will be taking down the ‘Monsters In The Christmas Album’ EP from the download page tomorrow night, so this is your last chance to get it for free!



I am glad to say that this was a successful campaign, the album has received a lot of airplay and it was downloaded by a lot of you during the holidays. So thanks a lot for that! I will do my best to have another seasonal release next year – but at this point I am not promising anything.

As far as indie (and commercial) Christmas music is concerned, there was a lot of that this year. And I mean a LOT. Still, my humble release has managed to stay afloat, and I am very optimistic starting out the new year thanks to it.

I am planing to record more songs this year, obviously, so there will be a lot of music here waiting for you. Please check back here for that and/or subscribe to my newsletter, keep track of my activities on Facebook or Twitter.

We will be launching a comic strip here on Indiefolker.com in March, so you might want to come back here for that also.

There are a lot of other plans for 2011, but this is as much as I am willing to share with you for now… this post was just about reminding you that this is the last chance to get my ‘Monsters In The Christmas Album’ anyway.

Things have been going pretty good with the Christmas record, so I thought I should write a post about how good I feel about it.

Here’s a few places around the web that have mentioned the EP or have posted my festive MP3s (in no particular order):

1. A surprising feature article on this German music blog, called Lie In The Sound.

2. All of you must know Folk Radio UK.

3. Mojophenia has been kind enough to mention me again, after hosting that CD giveaway competition when I released ‘Monsters In Rome‘.

4. Perfect Porridge featured my release in their Holiday MP3 playlist.

5. A very short but important mention on Santas Working Overtime. Surprisingly, this gave me quite a few hits.

6. Stubby’s House Of Christmas first mentioned me in this ‘coming attractions‘ article and then featured a short story of the record itself after release.

7. Large Hearted Boy posted my MP3 – with quite a nice result.

The album is doing fine, btw. I have loads of downloads already, and getting feedback from a lot of you on a daily basis, which is a great plus. I will keep ‘Monsters In The Christmas Album‘ on the site until 15th of January, so make sure to download it before that time, if you like it.

In the meantime, I am working on theater music. A friend of mine asked me to write music for one of his plays, so that will keep me busy until the New Year, when we’ll start work on that video for ‘Work @ It Together‘ that I promised not so long ago.

Oh, and we will be launching a comic strip (that’s right, a comic strip) in late February/early March… you might want to be around for that…

Members of the Newsletter will be notified of all this before everyone else, of course – so you might consider signing up, if you care.

I didn’t know if I should mark this on the Upcoming Shows section of the site, because it’s such a borderline event. The thing is, I will be attending the Hometaping Playback Party held at Betsy Trotwood, London on the 8th December, but not in person, as you might expect. Instead, I will perform a couple of songs off my ‘Monsters In The Christmas Album’ (which you are still free to download) and talk a bit about the record via Skype. There will be a whole bunch of other performers attending, some live, some streamed, like myself, and the entire event will be streamed again online, so you can tune in if you are interested. I will edit this post for info on where to watch the stream. This much I know: the event starts at 8 pm, London time, and it will go on until about 11 pm. I will be performing sometime after 9 pm. If you happen to be in London, head on down to Betsey Trotwood for a fun time!
