Yeti Boy Records
I set up Yeti Boy Records in 2007 as a vehicle to release recordings made by a small close knit group of musicians that I was lucky enough to play with in Nottingham at that time and who are still playing now. Some of these recordings massively predate my involvement with these bands but the releases weren't available digitally so we got them out via Yeti Boy. I've also released my album 'Drum Baby Sleep' and 'Delirio' by Lo Ke Ba on the label.
Beginner's Luck by Rich & Famous
Yeti Boy 001
This was the first release on Yeti Boy. It''s a duo album with songs by. Wayne D. Evans with myself on percussion. It came about after a gig which I was offered depping for Cormac Byrne with Seth Lakeman got given to someone else. I'd done loads of Bodhán practice and it seemed a shame to waste it so Wayne and I got these songs going.
Songs of Price by Rich & Famous
Yeti Boy 002
A development from the first album; we went electric with the addition of Clive 'Myph' Smith on guitar. This album features guest musicians from our musical lives at the time and who added a great deal of virtuosity and creativity to these reworkings of more Wayne's back catalogue featuring songs from Gaffa and The Marcels as well sas .
Delicate Steer By Harry Stephenson
Yeti Boy 003
This was released on 7th September 2013 but was recorded many years before and features some of Harry's best songs stripped right back. It's beautiful music!
Harry's Amusements by The Last Pedestrians
Yeti Boy 004
Released in 2013 this album had already been recorded when I joined the band. It features Harry Stephenson as the song writer and main vocalist, Chris Green on drums, Wayne Evans on bass and backing vocals and Phil Jackson on guitar and mandolin.
Battle of a Simple Man by The Last Pedestrians
Yeti Boy 005
I had the pleasure playing in The Last Pedestrians with Harry Stephenson, Wayne Evans, Paul 'Beano' Summers and Phil Jackson from 2010 until 2020. We released this album on 22nd October 2016.
XIXIIXIII by Gaffa
Yeti Boy 006
Wayne Evans, John Maslen and Myph started writing songs together again in 2013 and this was the result. An EP with myself on percussion and Simon Bowhill on drums.
Lift us up and leave us there by Gaffa
Yeti Boy 007
Recording for this album started in 2015, continuing the rebirth of Gaffa with original members Wayne Evans, Clive 'Myph' Smith and John Maslen coming together to write new material, joined by Richard Kensington on percussion and Simon Bowhill on drums.
Delirio by Lo Ke Ba
Yeti Boy 008
Delirio by Lo Ke Ba is an original album of Afro-Cuban music that draws inspiration from a mix of modern and traditional styles - Salsa, Timba, Son, Cha Cha Cha, Rumba, Batá and Bembe. It brings together ny work with Simon and Dave from The Axis Percussion Trio with 10 years of travelling to Cuba to study drums. It grew from a 20-year exchange of friendship, culture, music, religion and ideas between the UK and Cuba.
Drum Baby Sleep by Richard Kensington
Yeti Boy 009
My most recent release inspired by my work as a Healthcare Musician and percussionist. My wife Becky Coles joins me on backing vocals for this recording.
Near life experience - The Last Pedestrians... or more accurately The Loose Cannons
This album was recorded by The Loose Canons which went on to become The Last Pedestrians once Mick Barratt and Clive 'Myph' Smith had left. I released it under the name The Last Pedestrians as I figured more people would listen to it but I should have kept it under the banner of The Loose Canons out of respect to Myph and Mick.
Neither Use Nor Ornament by Gaffa
This album was originally released by Gaffa in 1978. Yet Boy was a vehicle to get it available digitally to enable a whole new generation of people to hear it who weren't lucky enough to have bought the vinyl the first time around.
