Andrew Hockey, possessor of the yi-yang finger, who defeats the bone cutting sword of nu folk baddies in ‘the battle wizard’ a film directed by run run shaw.
Sorry, Andrew Hockey, green man stalwart, possessor of a renbourn finger and strepsil soothing voice. Mr Hockey has previously released two special eps on 10" vinyl. Songs from the Dandelion Clock, Vols 1 + 2. Containing meditative, mantra-like loop-folk nodding to the Silver Apples crafty, evocative instrumentals bearing the touch of John Fahey and the style of blues-infused finger picking that stretches from Bert Jansch to Tyrannosaurus Rex to 21st century anomalies like Entrance or M Ward. Andrew Hockey does all of that, and he manages to wrestle you out of your glib comparative straitjackets to boot. He might have a selection of kindred spirits, but it’s a wholly singular path he travels.

"Has an uncanny knack of creating the most haunting, subtle, beautiful music on earth. Live he'll make you cry and damn those pins from dropping all around the world, and on record he'll make your heart melt. He lives in Cornwall, and should be on Top of the Pops on a weekly basis. Hockey's music stands out a mile; slightly off kilter folk, but so much more than your average singer songwriter. In fact, the words singer and songwriter shouldn't be inflicted upon his beautiful, other worldly music. The EP is very, very special."
