LongMan Records and the collaborative "Ukulele Rebels" have decided to release easily the catchiest electro-pop, ukulele rap single ever made.

Guest vocalist "Cloth Man" appears on this tour de force which has a sort of "Gary Numan & George Formby share a giant spliff with Bob Marley's grandfather in a cosmetic surgeon's jacuzi" type vibe.

Christmas pilgrimage to the Long Man himself

There are now only a handfull of tickets left for Richard's Christmas Guitar Concert in Wilmington, Sussex (Friday December 8th, doors 7.30pm, music 8pm). click here to get tickets while there are still some available. The concert will include the usual exotic classical repertoire and DADGAD fingerpickings along with some seasonal music.

This beautiful Sussex village was Richard's home for three years, when he lived in the 11th century Benedictine Priory of Wilmington. The priory is at the feet of the mysterious long man of Wilmington who provided the inspiration for the setting up of LongMan Records back in the early 1990's.
