Hi all, my name is Brolly, and this is my first ever solo project which has been five months in the making.

I live in Wales with my fab wife and crazy boys Josh & Sam {Team Tiger}. When I'm not writing music you can find me fishing or out and about on family adventures, probably hunting dinosaurs.

My day job is that of a TV composer. I write music for wildlife programmes and children’s animation. I’m about as far removed from being a pop star or rock musician as you could possibly imagine... for more on Brolly and his day job please visit the website.

Back in 2013 I wrote the music for a wildlife programme about an African animal called the honey badger. As is often the case with these projects finding the right music for the show can be a lengthy process. On this occasion we started with African Kwaito music and ended up with something much more dramatic and filmic. Once the job was done and dusted I listened back to the unused tracks and felt something good about them. I didn’t just want to archive them off to be forgotten so I set to work on a fun little project and here I am five months later with twelve finished tracks and some great performances. Using google I found musicians and sent them tracks and grooves to work on, I then experimented with what came back.

As well as getting musicians to play on the tracks I also asked them to write some lyrics being an appalling lyricist myself. So I gave each writer a subject matter and ideas then let them do whatever they wanted. I didn’t think it was fair to try and edit to rewrite their lyrics so we just went with whatever came back, although it is quite funny that Imunandi translates as ‘It's nice having it day and night’. I asked LaShame what ‘It’ might be and he just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

I will also be donating 15% of all record sales to the Mercy Ships. Earlier this year I wrote the music for a BBC’s children’s channel CBBC programme about The Mercy Ships that travel around Africa giving free medical help, surgery etc. to people who need it. Check them out, they’re amazing.

I still don’t know why I did the album but I’m glad that I did and hope you enjoy the raggle taggleness of it.
