Latest newsALISTAIR HULETT R.I.P. Robb's song "Patterns", for Alistair Hulett, is here; and he has written an appreciation of Alistair's life for R2 Magazine, which will come out soon. (Added 8th February 2010) NEW CD: "THE GHOST OF LOVE" released 30th November 2009
Robb and the Irregulars are all really excited & chuffed about this album. Robb says: "Erm.. personally, um err, as a writer, err um, I think this is one of the best albums wot I writ. & the playing by the Irregulars is immaculate - awesome bass & drums courtesy of Messrs Forrester & Waygood, decorated by Mr Watson's magnificent melodeon, concertina & harmonica, Ms Browton's splendidly emotive cello, & the blood & fire & soul of Mr Walker's brass playing." Why wait until the end of the month? Pre-order "The Ghost of Love" - and if you're stuck for an extra Xmas present or two - order more! - as the Xmould rush may well clog up the Proper system, and anyway the shops are bound to be submerged anyway in the usual Xmould slush.

(Added 6th July 2009, updated 5th August 2009) LIMITED EDITION IRREGULAR RECORDS SAMPLER: FOR GAZA The state of Israel is land stolen from Palestinians. The state of Israel has tanks, artillery, attack helicopters, all manner of sophisticated and murderous military weaponry. The Palestinians don't. In January this year the Israelis used these weapons to invade a small piece of land that they had previously been blockading to kill lots of civilians there, men, women and children. What happened to Gaza is not something you can have a "balanced" debate about. - Robb Johnson This Irregular Records sampler CD is limited to 100 copies, which will be individually numbered. Robb will be selling them at most gigs anywhere, and you can also order them by e-mailing info@irregularrecords.co.uk. Money raised from the sampler CD will go to MAP - Medical Aid for Palestinians.
