Pauline, Neville, Maureen and Kevin

 


‘Welcome to the Underachievers’ is officially published on Friday. Hooray! This means you can now get it from your favourite ebook store, from your local bookshop, and also A*@%on should that be your preferred location.

You may also choose, like the wonderful folk who pre-ordered print copies that came with a free CD, to order direct from the author - ie me - at the Bandcamp store. You won’t now get the CD, but you should get a digital download of the songs soundtracking the book, along with a print version or ebook version depending on your choice.

Hard sell over, let’s move onto the video. It’s another home-made affair, again using analogue technology with essentially no training, and is for the song ‘Pauline and Neville’. The song began life as ‘Maureen and Kevin’ after I saw some graffiti in Harrow, NW London. When I discovered that this was the name of a band, I renamed the track. Susie Woo Marsh sang ‘Maureen and Kevin’, whilst Ria Foxette sang ‘Pauline and Neville’. We did a full studio version of the latter version, but I think the video version is possibly our lo-fi version.

I hope you enjoy it, whatever.
