About

Andy SteeleNight Fishing Talking Elephant RecordsReleased: 24th October 2011Andy Steele releases his new album Night Fishing on the 24th October 2011, his first release for long established folk label Talking Elephant Records.From Runcorn in Cheshire, Andy released his first album, Land and Sea, on his own label in 2006 whilst trading as Muddyhead. There followed in 2007 a second title, True Believers and the Guises of the Weasel, released under his own name and again on his own label. Both records met with a warm response and led to a series of high profile support slots, including opening for Roxy Music and for America on their 2007 return to the UK.In 2008, Andy Steele and Night Fishing co-producer and piano player Jez Wing found themselves in the same band on a stage opening for Van Morrison. Keen to get further back to the folk sound that had so far eluded his first two records, Andy was eager to retain the English folk and roots feel of his new record and was already familiar with Jez, who a few years previously had won the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Musician of the Year Award with his band The Black Cat Theory. Together they enlisted the help of many established musicians from around the country, all of whom were already well known to either Andy or Jez. Banjo player John Dowling was the other musical half of the The Black Cat Theory and is the only European ever to have won the USA National Banjo Championships. Night Fishing is the first time John and Jez have been reunited on record since the folk awards. Fiddle player Hannah Peel had previously performed in The Unthanks and Tuung, before releasing her debut LP, The Broken Wave earlier this year. Drummer Rob Allum and guitarist John Bennett at one time were together with Andy in an early version of Sid Griffins The Coal Porters. They both went on to perform with Sean OHagan in The High Llamas, and Rob also drums with another of South Londons finest The Turin Brakes, who themselves lent more than a helping hand during the recording of Night Fishing. The record has managed to retain its folk and English roots feel throughout. It is a heartfelt, introspective and mesmerizing record played out during one mid-summers night and stands tall alongside some of the finest modern progressive folk artists such as Bellowhead, Vetiver, Seth Lakeman and The Magnetic Fields. This is due in no small part to the fact that recording and mixing all took place outside of the recording studio, instead choosing to record in hallways and kitchens in many different locations, with the help of The Turin Brakes and encouraged past the post by King Crimson and Virginia Plain producer Pete Sinfield. This is the first new artist that Talking Elephant Records has released in 15 years; they're back catalogue includes Fairport Convention, Stephen Stills, Pentangle and Amazing Blondel.Andy has already been out playing live with the Night Fishing band this year and has recently opened for Chris Wood, The High Llamas, The Turin Brakes, Daniel Martin Moore and The Strawbs.Night Fishing is released on Talking Elephant Records on October 24th 2011.Track Listing1.On Kentish Ground2.A Wish For A Word3.Here Comes The Sunshine4.Dorothy Hare5.Walking In The Rain6.Time To Run7.This Years Summer Progress8.The Devil I Know9.Are You Ready For the Night?10.Brevity Lost11.Night FishingFor all Interview and review requests please contact:Lee Puddefoot Bright Lights PR, Marketing and Management | T: +44 (0)7905 890 669 | E: lee_brightlightspr.com | W: http://brightlightspr.tumblr.com |Management:Jez Wing| T: +44 (0)7974 685871 | E: jezwing_progressivefolk.co.uk |
