Self-titled album released 31st January
Free EP now available for free download
Following the announcement of their album last week, Euros Childs and Norman Blake have announced a European tour for next year.
Inter-twining the musical DNA of two of Britain’s most gifted songwriters, Jonny’s debut album proclaims the advent of an irresistibly infectious new strain of psychedelic pop.
Blake’s Teenage Fanclub and Childs’ Gorky’s toured together in 1997, and when Blake contributed guitar and vocal harmonies to Gorky’s bitter-sweet How I Long To Feel That Summer In My Heart in 2001, Euros remembers “it just felt like he was part of the band… from that point on it always felt like we might do something together in the future, it just took a few years to actually get it organised”. Euros eventually made it up to Norman’s house in Glasgow in 2006 to record “what we thought was an EP”, and the duo played a handful of rapturously received live shows, before finally getting down to putting a whole album together early in 2010.
“Free EP” is still available from http://www.turnstilemusic.net/jonny-free-ep/
‘JONNY’ will be released via Alsatian/Turnstile on 31st January. The single ‘Candyfloss’ is released 17th January
