John Murry – The Stars are God’s Bullet Holes – UK Tour Dates November 2021

29 October 2021Mark

John Murry was adopted at birth into the family of William Faulkner. Some have speculated that the Faulkner blood might also run in his veins, but that should be left for a Southern Gothic novel yet to be written (or perhaps re-written). Raised in Tupelo, Mississippi, in the shadow of Elvis, his undiagnosed autism led to troubles at an early age that led to prescribed medication, which led to un-prescribed medication, which led to being institutionalised for addiction and mental health issues at a too young age. Eventually, discarded onto the streets of Memphis, he found music, which became the one constant positive force in his life. Memphis led to San…

111 Lithographic Prints of Ford Timelord by Flinton Chalk and The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures.

4 September 2021Mark

Iron Man Records has been working with the artist Flinton Chalk of the band TC Lethbridge, to produce the first in a series of limited edition 50cm x 70cm Lithographic Prints. After many years of discussions and a true odyssey to track down the missing photographs, Iron Man Records announced the first set of Lithographic Prints earlier this year, for the first design, available only to Patrons. TC Lethbridge’s claims regarding the existence of Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill in Cambridgeshire caused significant controversy within the archaeological community, with most archaeologists believing that Lethbridge had erroneously misidentified a natural feature. Lethbridge’s methodology and theories were widely deemed unorthodox, and in…

A big thank you to all Iron Man Records Patrons who helped make this possible.
