'Where is the poetry book 'Calling all demons'?? Answer -It is now in the process of being printed, as we type. Copies are extremely limited. Signed copies are £40 each and this comes with a sketch but there are very very few of these.
'Why doesn't anthony play live more'? Answer -AR has avoided playing live for the last few years because there weren't enough funds for a group and he disliked playing solo. However he has recently done a few live shows with charlotte greig, which he loved. If you would like to book AR and CG as a duo, please email us.
'When will there be new music'? Answer -music is not AR's priority at the moment but he is working on music with charlotte greig and a couple of other one off collaborators. The album with la muneca de sal is ongoing but taking its time due to finance and geography. It is 65% complete. Meanwhile here is an artists impression of AR and CG's recent glasgow gig - www.chaffinchrecords.com/artwork-anthony-reynolds-and-charlotte-greig
