SoundCloud

I have been using SoundCloud to put some of my music online since 2014. Originally set up for my guitar recordings under the stage name, Reverend Kidd. I used this name on the SoundCloud to provide some blues credentials for my improvising career with the guitarist Steve Kenny. At the time Steve and I were recording improvisations on tape as well as performing at the occasional open mic sessions in some of the Sheffield pubs.

My SoundCloud page eventually branched out into other genres, electronic music, music concrete, soundscapes, and much later with renewed interest in publishing music with piano and trombone. As well as branch out with a joint page with Steve Kenny for the work being published from the “Community Empowerment Tapes” improvisations.

Three volumes of restored compilations of archived cassette tapes of the DumbWaiters work that had not been heard since the band were together at Keele University 1976-1981. I was in the original line up playing electric guitar. Over 30 years had elapsed before I met up with my friend Jim (songwriter & drums). It was tragic loss of our mutual friend and band vocalist Brian that brought us together to bring back his memory and the music we had created.
