A Job Lot and Proper Job

We recorded two CDs, 'Proper Job' (2008) and 'A Job Lot' (2014) and these were available as CDs. 'A Job Lot' is still available as a CD, and is available for sale from us when you see us out and about.

Both albums are now available on Bandcamp, where you can listen to tracks and pay for them if you wish to download them.

You can find them here:
