The Following Night

Some of you may have noticed that we (Ideal Surreal, Off with their Records and Howlback Hum) have partnered up to put on a new monthly live music night every 3rd Friday of the month at The Rumsey Wells, Norwich. The night hopes to adopt the spirit that used to underpin the Music House nights that ran weekly for over 2 decades at the historic Jurnets Bar. With Jurnets now closed we wanted to bring a little of that magic back. Last month we used the night as a launch event for The Ornithologists EP with a line-up of amazing performers. Unfortunately Shane was still testing positive for covid and couldn't really play his own launch gig, so we are going again.

April 15th at The Rumsey Wells The Ornithologists are actually playing this time, with support from Amy French (Blisster) and Pete Murdoch (Birds of Hell). If you know who they are you know it's going to be a damn good one.

Free entry.

Night Has Fallen

The new EP 'Night' by Shane O'Linski's 'The Ornithologists' has descended upon us from on high and settled here on Earth in the form of a CD and download.

We've departed from our house style for the CD and printed off a limited run of beautifully illuminated digipak CDs available for £6 from our shop free p&p. Or for those of you who view CDs as an outdated and reprehensible medium the download is available for just £3 including all the artwork and promo animation.

Thanks to everybody who has helped bring this into being. First and foremost Shane O'Linski for being an unstoppable musical juggernaut, the many musicians who performed on the album, Sickroom Studios for recording and Morris for spearheading the production, design and release, it's been very nice not operating as a one-man record label for a change.

We have a launch event at The Rumsey Wells, Norwich on 18th March featuring performances from The Ornithologists, Takeda, Joey Herzfeld and Jon Cocker where the CD will be available very slightly cheaper £5, mostly because I can't be bothered handing out loose change. See you there and stay tuned for more...

Night

We are thrilled to announce the release of the new EP by Shane O'Linski's band 'The Ornithologists'. The new EP, 'Night', will be available on CD, download and the 5 main tracks will be available to stream on all major streaming services. We will be celebrating with a launch gig at The Rumsey Wells, Norwich on 18th March featuring performances from The Ornithologists, Takeda and Joey Herzfeld.

Which brings us nicely around to saying that the long-awaited, much-lauded new album from Joey Herzfeld is one step closer to being released. We're just sorting artwork then we'll have a release date for you. Woop woop.

And you can hear exclusive first plays of tracks from both those releases in the new Off with their Records podcast. It's right there on the front page of our website or if you're reading this in the distant future, hey, how's it going? Do we have flying cars yet?
