Hi everyone, here's a one off podcast. I'm releasing a new single today (23rd June 2019) called "Vague Means Vague".As I'm writing this mid 2019, politics is in a funny place at the moment. It has been 3 years since the EU referendum and we still have no idea what Brexit actually means, Theresea May once said that "Brexit means brexit", but what does it really mean? I'm sure many of you feel my frustration, whichever way you voted. So here's a twisty piece of music that conveys that feeling.Huw V Williams - Bass/Composition George Crowley - Saxophone Devin Gray - Drums Recorded at Fish Factory studio 27th June 2018 Engineered by Ben Lamdin Mixed by Alex Bonney Mastered by Alex WardFind it at these links; BandcampSpotifyiTunesSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/improvisedmusicagenda)
