It has been lovingly produced by <a href=\"https:\/\/christt.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Chris Thorpe-Tracey (opens in a new tab)\">Chris Thorpe-Tracey<\/a>, who many of you know as he played Edenfest \u2013 our occasional garden festival every time. Alongside some fantastic arrangements, Chris also lends his musical brilliance to a number of the tracks which is a real thrill for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 8-track album is available now through Bandcamp:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/mrspoons-ukefb.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/mrspoons-ukefb.bandcamp.com\/<\/a><br> <br> It costs just \u00a36 (inc. VAT), although there is the option to pay more if you wish to help our Marathon sponsorship along! <br><br>The website will also explain my rather odd stage name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ALSO&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/runspoonsrun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/carter_cover_riot.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-206\" width=\"182\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runspoonsrun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/carter_cover_riot.jpg 975w, https:\/\/runspoonsrun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/carter_cover_riot-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/runspoonsrun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/carter_cover_riot-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runspoonsrun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/carter_cover_riot-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 182px) 100vw, 182px\" \/><figcaption>Time to Riot again!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our 2016 Charity release: The Elmers End Riots &#8211; Live at Edenfest 2011 by Carter USM is also been put back online for a limited time via the same link.
