Exciting news!
I've been chatting with an old band-mate of Paddy McAloons, a great guy by the name of Roy McCalvey.
Roy was the bass player in the band "Avalon", which was Paddy's band just prior to Prefab Sprout, and Roy had mentioned that he co-wrote a song with Paddy during the Avalon days, and he has been kind enough to allow us to re-record it for the project! The song is called "Coming Home", though this era is pre-Prefab Sprout, Paddy did write some great songs during that era ....... songs like "Walk On", "Tiffany's" and "Strange Silhouettes" to name a few, and all of them were played live by Avalon.
I've been given the privilege to finish up the song a bit and bring it a little more "sprout forward" - which I am delighted to do!

Currently working with some great lyrics submitted to the project by Scott Travis. A tune entitled "Hannah, Are You Out There?" - The music I have written for this sounds very much like Paddy's mid to later work, somewhere between The Venus of The Soup Kitchen and Anne Marie or Girl I'm Here. I had six songs and now I have seven, five more to go. Between the 7 songs chosen so far for the project, we are already spanning writing styles from Swoon to Andromeda Heights! And I could not be happier!

Also, I've reworked the music for another great song submitted by Jay Jarmon, this one is called "Charm Offensive" and the melody has been re-tooled to sound like something off Swoon or Protest Songs. With the re-tooled demos I have been making, I soon plan on sharing them in an undetermined forum. I'll keep you posted on when that will happen.

Oh, there will hopefully be a big announcement made soon! Keep watching for that one! - Scott
