Hello! Can I convince anyone to help fund a album by the gorgeous openness that is Corey Mwamba | Dave Kane | Joshua Blackmore?

We're going to ACTUALLY RECORD a proper album next year - and I'm aiming for a deadline of March to release.

Embrace Arts in Leicester has kindly donated their acoustically stunning concert hall to do the recording. The hall has a perfect balance of sound, even at the lowest volumes! It's very exciting...

But we'd really appreciate your help in making it happen. We know times are hard, so we're trying to keep the effort required low. I'm not setting a limit to raise - every little helps and we're very grateful for the help!

All you have to do is buy one of the current trio downloads, at more than the lowest price (£3!); and share that link with your friends so that they buy it too. It's as simple as that!

If you buy all four albums, I'll put you down for a free physical copy of the new album , signed; as well as a free download of the album.

Hello,

Not been able to get on here for a while, but back! As Urban: I sate/shun is the most popular song on Songs for the New Folk, I've set it free. Enjoy!

Happy New Year!

Just letting you know that I've formed a new group: it's a dream band for me, consisting of Corey Mwamba | Dave Kane | Joshua Blackmore, trumpeter Alex Bonney, saxophonist Ntshuks Bonga and clarinettist Arun Ghosh.

It's called Heralds and we are on a mini-tour!

We're currently focussing on the north of England [Derby, Leeds and Newcastle], but if you'd like to see us anywhere else, badger your local happening music place!

All the events will be listed under the trio's events, hope to see you at one!

All the best for the year,

Corey Mwamba

Hello,

Hope you're all enjoying the summer. I can't remember if I posted this before, but: those of you who couldn't come to the last of Corey Mwamba | Dave Kane | Joshua Blackmore in Newcastle can watch a video at MusicFilmBroth's TV channel. It's long one - the whole gig - but worth it I think!

All the best,

Corey Mwamba

Hello!

I've no idea why, but Chirality Bias seems to be the most popular of my tracks. I'm setting it free, so you can download as you wish. A nice way of saying thanks would be to write a comment saying: "thanks!", although of course you could always head to my site and grab an album download as well. ;)

Also, I can't remember if I'd told you but I've uploaded the latest trio recording, 7ArtSpace. Hope you like!

All the best,

Corey Mwamba

Last.fm have finally and sensibly given in - we can listen to stuff again! If you haven't been able to before, you can check out In The Vortex in full - and now I can upload the other album!

All the best,

Corey Mwamba

Hello,

Hope you're well! A small update: I've set the tracks for Argentum free for download.

I'm still holding on to the hope that Last.fm will re-introduce full-length previews; but if that's not the case then I'll set most of the tracks for all the albums free. Obviously if you'd like to show some love you can buy stuff from my shop, but I think I'd rather you got to hear it first!

All the best,

Corey Mwamba

Hello,

I've made every track for BioChem a free download. Grab them!

The changes in Last.fm mean that people can no longer listen to things on here - terrible move. I'm in the process of moving things over to my shop on my site - and that would be a great way to show your support! - but I also realise that we come here to listen and check out new things. And that's important. Thirty-second previews are totally inappropriate for most sorts of music.

Before, Last.fm enabled the independent artist to do this - but they've made it harder, I think. Roll on widespread browser support for HTML5, I say.
