This isn’t the first time in this series that I’ve featured a track from Pick’n’ Mix, a compilation album issued by the Glasgow-based Bubblegum Records back in 2009.
This time round, you get to hear the contribution from Felix D’Arcy:-
mp3: Felix D’Arcy – Pictures From The Pavement
I’ve ascertained that Felix is from Glasgow, but there’s not a lot more info out there other than the name is taken after a character in the spy novels penned by John Le Carre.
The song is a bright sounding, catchy acoustic number, kind of perfect for sunny summer afternoons lounging in the park while emptying your cargo. But the tune masks a lyric which isn’t all sweetness and light…..
I know that at least two of the people involved in Bubblegum Records meander to this blog on the odd occasion. This one goes out to them with huge thanks for all they did then and what they’ve done since.
