Prolific Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter Richard Haswell releases his 23rd album, ‘Pompeiian Red’.
The 20-track opus is a collection of live tracks, alternative mixes and other rarities – some of the live recordings being taken direct from the mixing desk, others recorded on camcorders and iPhones etc and remastered.
Among his previous 22 releases are a variety of albums under the Rhubarb, G For Gnome and White Noise pseudonyms.
On this occasion the album comes out under his own name, although various musicians have contributed: guitarist Lewis Kippen, who is on around half of the tunes; Shelley Haswell, who is responsible for backing vocals on ‘Magnetic North’; Ian Urch, who plays mandolin on the same track,; Gareth Urch (melodica on ‘The Undreamed Of’) and Thomas Urch (these three may be related), adding bass to ‘Cause and Effect’.
