Today sees the release of another collection from the archives.
Previously unreleased and shared only amongst friends, 'In a Land of Lost Content' stems from a visit to Stella Mitchell's 'Land of Lost Content', a cavernous museum of nostalgia and pop culture located in Craven Arms, Shropshire, by Antony Harding, Rob Glover, Ben Holton and Eric Heath in early November 2009.
Though there have been subsequent visits to these halls of 'a million memories' over many years, my initial reaction to that first tour proved a rich stream from which to draw, joining scribbled notes, half-remembered exhibits piled high with paraphernalia and a handful of sounds captured on location. It is high time these recordings were taken off the shelf.
'In a Land of Lost Content’ is available now from the Plenty Wenlock Bandcamp page:

The Last of Lost Content still stands, albeit reconfigured after attracting the ire of the fire inspectors. Even in these strange times it has adapted and permits tours via online booking, though it appears the cafe (where I once spent over 4 hours with my now partner) has sadly had to go.
Diolch,
Eric
