Event information

We're delighted to be helping Magic Arm unveil his new album Images Rolling - at St Pancras Old Church, London on Thursday 16th May 2013

Following 2009's debut album Make Lists Do Something, Images Rolling is a further exploration of the musical playground that is Magic Arm's world. Somewhere between 'This Way Up' cardboard boxes and the stairwell in which the new record's violin and trumpet sounds were recorded, a studio gradually took shape in Marc Riglesford's - aka Magic Arm - new house.

Boasting an array of cables, switches, and instruments donated by friends and family such as a piano, guitar, bass, synths, keyboards, glockenspiel, various types of organ, and drums, Rigelsford's new sound workshop offered the perfect balance between vocational artistic freedom and a chaotic living space; 'Tripping over your instruments on your way to the kitchen is a constant reminder that there is something else that you should be doing,' he confesses.

'Magic Arm makes incredible music; I dare you to tell me it sucks' - Ed Droste, Grizzly Bear
'The master of the loop pedal' - Samuel Beam, Iron and Wine

Limited edition vinyl of Images Rolling, as well as CD copies, will be available to purchase on the night, ahead of the album's official release in June.

Support comes from Dan Clews who continues his upward trajectory with the completion of his latest album, 'Tourist In My Own Backyard' and a recent UK tour with Level 42, making his last London appearance at the Albert Hall.

His early recording secured a publishing deal with George Martin Music. Sir George said, 'I was introduced to Dan Clews by a friend. I have always tried to support young musicians and Dan's music impressed from the first listen. He is too great a talent to ignore and it's a great pleasure to be his publisher.'

The evening is kicked off by Ben Madeley.
