Most low-production music videos are stupid and mine are no exception

Cauld Lad Blues

In my obsession with local folklore and horror ahead of Halloween 2024, I was contacted and subsequently possessed by the Cauld Lad of Hylton. We explored Hylton Castle in Sunderland where we captured clear and irrefutable evidence of the existence of the local ghost - skeptics can decide for themselves.

Big thanks to Kelly Dent, Tobias Hodgson, Patrick Gosling, Phil Jackson, and Alex Wynn for jumping on this literally for a laugh. Also thanks to National Heritage for not taking me to court.

Wasting

This tune was written as a wanky guitar rock song so I wanted the video to parody people still stuck riding brit pop sensibilities that went out of fashion before New Labour. Similarly, I was holding onto a rock and roll dream I should have given up on ages ago.

Weirdly, even though I'm clearly taking the piss, I still think I took it more seriously back then. The jacket is stunning at least. Bless my partner Kelly for filming this and putting up with my post-covid delusions, some of which we actually ended up doing - this video being one of them.
