No,

we haven't gone away.

just locked in our gloomy sheds creating works of genius,

whiles the sunshine burns away unnoticed out in the real world.

We will be back soon with a new book,

album, film and backdrop

and news of late summer gigs.

in the meantime...here  is a great photo of us

performing at the Portico Hall last March.

New Book Here

Liver & Lights No 56. 
One Shoe Michael.

The New paperback is here!!

Dear Subscriber….

There has been a slight change of plan!  

When subscribing, you might have imagined you were getting a copy 

of something entitled Liver & Lights No 57, as announced…

On reflection, I have come to believe that the whole One Shoe Mickey 

project should come under the umbrella heading of  

L&L 56, 

including the enclosed paperback containing the complete song cycle

 and all Mickey’s paintings of lost gloves collected from the streets of London.

L&L 56 also includes the handmade Verbfoot Jack hardback published 

in May and It will eventually encompass an  album of new songs by

Bonesandtheaft with  music inspired by One Shoe Mickeys’s words 

by Ian Mckean 

with assistance from 

Bird Radio and Lord Biscuit.

it will also include, eventually, Chiara Ambrosio’s film-in-progress…

If you havent seen the recently released excerpt yet, you can watch it here:

Incidentally....if you want a copy its £12.00  including postage...

send me the cash via paypal and I'll post one to you:

paypal.me/bonesandtheaft

Hope thats  all clear!

Love JB x 

Star of Kings June 2nd 8pm

Last gig until autumn.........

New paperback out soon
