Heyday's Edinburgh

Here are some scans of the packaging of the CD from the band I was in around 25 years ago...it's been a long wait, but finally the music is widely available.


Above: front cover.


Above: back of the CD booklet...I'm in the top photo on the left.

Track Listing:
1. Sad And Blue
2. Let Go
3. Pack On Your Back
4. Golden
5. Pull Up A Chair
6. Talk To Me
7. Shape
8. Good Time Now (live)
9. Johny's Land (live)

I play keyboards on the first 7 tracks. The last 2 songs are live, & recorded after I had left the band. The music is 1980s alternative pop music, I guess. To me it still sounds timeless, despite the fact that these are really demos and live tracks (the live ones suffer a little from poor recording). The songs (written by Stephen H. Harrison) are potential classics of love, angst & Edinburgh life. Well worth a listen...

Heyday's "Edinburgh" album out on CD

I just heard from Stephen Harrison (singer, guitarist, songwriter) that he has released an album of songs from the band I was in around 25 years ago...the band was Heyday & the CD is entitled "Edinburgh". Here is the back cover with the info:

I'm the keyboard player in the photo. It's strange that 25 years after the fact, an album is being released...the songs hold up pretty well, I think. You can hear some of the songs & there is more info on the Heyday myspace page. There is also a page on Facebook here.

We recorded the 7 songs that I'm playing on at a small studio in Leith, Edinburgh. The other 2 tracks were apparently recorded live after I left the band.

The CD is entitled Edinburgh, I guess, because that's where we lived & worked. Stephen & I both attended Edinburgh College of Art together. He is a very talented artist & hopefully will pursue his artistic interests in addition to his musical career.
