Given Betty’s recent travails I thought folk might be interested in this. Clearly aimed at the fallout of childhood and a now ailing mum.
Did anyone else out there play backgammon?

Glad to hear that the CDs and Vinyls pre-ordered from Last Night From Glasgow have been finding their homes. Thanks for the kindly messages: it is heartening to hear that the album is resonating. The CD is available everywhere (Amazon etc) now. Their official release date for the vinyl is July 12. You can however get all formats (including vinyl) NOW directly from LNFG. Please just follow this link.

East of Ely is Miracle Mile's first album since 2012. It was largely written on the Suffolk coast and later recorded between London and Norfolk. Both Trevor and Marcus found bucolic bliss in coastal retreat. The detachment informed the writing process and limited the palette to primary colours. You....

‘Miracle Mile’s ‘East of Ely’ is out in all formats now. It really is as good as I’ve been saying.’

More kindly airplay from Steve Morris on his ever excellent Roots And Branches show. You could listen to ‘Shivering Boy’ at around 44 minutes. 10 minutes later you could hear ‘Oak’ from Paul Armfield’s excellent new EP ‘Trees’. Or, can I suggest that you just listen to the whole bloody marvellous show?

Release day! CDs and downloads are available in real and virtual stores. Vinyl hits the shelves on July 5. However, if you go to the source (Last Night From Glasgow), the Vinyl, CD and lossless downloads are available NOW. Those of you who preordered should be receiving platters now.

Kudos to those who have sent messages, reactions, reviews and photos of spinning discs! It’s lovely to see the dart meet the heart! Please keep them coming. If you did order the album from Amazon (even if you didn’t) please post a Customer Review. They really help!

Thanks again for joining Marcus and I on our journey.

You could wait for the rescheduled Amazon (etc) release dates of 21 June for CD and 28 June for Vinyl, or you could order ‘East of Ely’ in either format from Last Night From Glasgow now, and likely get it by the weekend. If you pre-ordered it from LNFG, rest assured that it’s currently winging its way to your home.

My Father Terry’s last lucid words to me were ‘Hello Sunshine’. He hadn’t called me that since I was a boy. He then whispered ‘I’m terrified’ before retreating into the foggy sanctuary of sleep. His heart was strong, but his lungs were shot. Terry just ran out of air. My Dad was a venerable but vulnerable man. There wasn’t much joy in his life, but he did love to sing and he loved sorrowful songs. He breathed them into me. And on the day that I was born he sang ‘Hallelujah’.

“At one point, Jones sings “Let’s find where the light in the darkness lies”. This album is the map. Only now that they’re back do you realise just how empty the world has been without them.”

A lovely review for ‘East of Ely’ in the online magazine ‘Folking’. Mike Davies walks us through the album with knowing surety. I love it when reviewers take the time to take their time.

A decade on since the last album, but sounding like they’ve been playing together forever, Trevor Jones and Marcus Cliffe have revived their shared connection for East Of Ely, a ninth excursion, ba…

Another fantastic show from Steve Morris. With a bit of old Miracle Mile setting up a track from the new album ‘East of Ely’. The pick of the pack? Could be the new Emily Barker track. A new direction and well worthy of attention.

With our release date on May 31, we are about to hit ‘go’ for the manufacturing of Vinyl and CD of ‘East of Ely’. To avoid over production (and to save waste and money), this would be a helpful time to pre-order. Thanks to those who did this a while back: we appreciate your early support. A reminder that you can order here:

Early morning walk. My last full day. I have the beach to myself. The paths here peter out; releasing you towards adventure and receiving you upon return. I’m walking without intent: shuffling and stumbling really. The wonder of this place? It tenders an unfathomable bliss. Beyond the beauty, its boundless skies offer a sense of arrival and departure: unbridled. The birds know that: vast squadrons of humming intent, gathering chaotically on the marshlands, waiting for a whisper of collective instinct to launch them towards something better. I walk past an anti Sizewell C sign. ‘It’s Not Too Late!’
It’s reassuring to know that, year by year, 'The Wick' holds the same attraction. In such transient times it’s good to have access to such a sturdy touchstone. Tomorrow morning I’ll pack and return to the fray; refreshed and ready for a return in November. Always the same fortnight. Always my birthday. Always Thanksgiving. This place. Now a part of my body clock; my migration. I’ve been revisiting for twelve years and it has gently hooked itself onto my heart. What does that mean? I guess it means that there’s always a 'next year' and that it’s not too late. That’s as vague and invigorating as it sounds. It’s a half light of hope. And that is light enough.

Stuff always happens when I’m away!
Marcus got his test pressing of ‘East of Ely’ this morning. Mine is likely sunbathing on my doorstep 150 miles away.
Reports are that it ‘sounds fab: like a record’. Thanks to Ian Smith and all at Last Night From Glasgow for helping us get to this stage.
Kudos too to ‘Seabass Vinyl’: Scotland's first major vinyl pressing plant, a family-run business in East Lothian, just outside of Edinburgh. Plus, a shout out to the masterly Peter Beckmann of TechnologyWorks for Mastering and prepping the LP files.

"There is no concept. The songs aren't about driftwood and wild swimming. They do involve specific influence. But the ideas were gathered and considered here: east of Ely, in solitude: whilst in retreat. That offered a clarity of thought. It's why I come here every year: to put my house in order. My room remains dishevelled."

December 1st, 2023. A year ago today was the final full day of a three week stay in Walberswick. It was the morning that I took the photogr...
