THE BELOW RELEASE

MARK LE GALLEZ - Mark Two (GREEN VINYL) LP

He's Back and what a blinder!!!

Over nearly 40 years later prolific singer songwriter and bassist, guitar player and multi instrumentalist MARK LE GALLEZ releases his follow up to MARK ONE. Mark is best known as bassist and singer with MOD/POWERPOP band THE RISK, also singing in garage psyche band THE SACRED HEARTS  and garage punk band THEE JENERATORS, and of course not forgetting mod/power pop band SPEAKEASY! also known for such alter egos as STEAMPUNK ARTISTE and general mischief maker THE CROWMAN and BABA GANOUSH rhythm and soul nutter. He has also played bass and guitar in skiffle turn THE JOHN WESLEY STONE. Mark has toured extensively played many many gigs and worked with quite a few, shall we say interesting people.

So why release the follow up now, well, to be honest had the time and energy a meeting in the pub in GUERNSEY and the help of long term multi instrumentalist, producer and engineer:

JAMES LE HURAY’

This release is a limited run of only 250 copies of high quality green vinyl. 10 tracks are featured and are basically a potted history of the man’s song writing and career over many years.

COLIN LEACH, Mark’s colleague and guitarist and singer from THE RISK produced the artwork and KERRIN SEARS did the photography, and yes the jacket still fits and is the same one worn on the original MARK ONE.
