Received an e-mail from Paul Haig the other day, and given that he's been so supportive of this blog in recent times, I think it's only fair and right that I share it with you:-It has been reported in place that the Cathode Ray is a new band formed that I've formed. This is definitely not the case.
I've been very busy and wan't fully made aware at all of the developing situation. For reasons of factual accuracy and to save people a lot of wasted energy it is now necessary to set the record straight.
It has been erroneously reported as a new band venture. There has never been any intention of starting, or for that matter joining a new band since the end of Josef K - I'm perfectly happy writing and recording as a solo artist. This particular collection of co-written songs (circa 2005/06) started as an experiment to see if there would be any interest from publishers with a view to placing them. Involvement ceased after that and it was made clear at the time it had been a song writing project.
I know that a similar sort of e-mail was fired out to other folk via the ROL website, so hopefully the word is spreading about the identity theft.....
mp3 : Edwyn Collins - It's A Steal
mp3 : The Teardrop Explodes - Thief Of Baghdad (Peel Session)
Happy Listening
