Update: The Project To Uncover Ancient Hill Figures

19 January 2021Mark

Flinton Chalk has sent an update on the work going on at his end and a special thanks to Patrons. "Thanks to your (greatly appreciated) continued support during these very challenging times, we at the TC Lethbridge camp are most gratefully able to plan and proceed with the work. We have finally got access to our sound and vision archive and hope you received a limited edition Lithograph of Ford Timelord before we supplied it to the KLF, coinciding with the reinstating of the JAMMS back catalogue. There will be more previously unpublished photography to come. We’re over the top excited to have started work on our ‘Neolithic Goddess’ EP, our…

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

14 January 2021Mark

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 turn he became increasingly critical of the archaeological profession. The area of Wandlebury Hill has been described as a neolithic ritual landscape. 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 more than 8 years of discussions and a true odyssey to track down…

“What Happens When I Burn Money?” by Jonathan Harris

28 December 2020Mark

I'm just putting the next Iron Man Records Newsletter together so feel free to send in any news, views or information you would like to include. Here's a fantastic piece by Jonathan Harris, also known as The Money Burning Guy. Jon was the first Patron, he's a good friend, and has supported Iron Man Records all the way. He's also a dangerous Lunatic. Don't think for a moment you can just dip into his work and understand it at first glance. You'll have to put some time in and consider his work carefully. It might prove mind expanding. Money Burning is not what you might think it is. "I don’t necessarily…

Ford Timelord returns to work on The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures – 111 Lithographic Prints by Flinton Chalk

24 November 2020Mark

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 turn he became increasingly critical of the archaeological profession. The area of Wandlebury Hill has been described as a neolithic ritual landscape. Imagine how the archaeological community are going to take it when they discover a car has returned to work in the neolithic ritual landscape to help raise funds to substantiate TC Lethbridge's claims? Iron Man Records is pleased to announce that Ford Timelord has returned…

F23 Podcast E18 featuring Oliver Senton – October 9th, 2020

15 October 2020Mark

The F23 Podcast is a conversation based podcast with interesting, inspiring, inter-dimensional beings of wonder who have chosen a human form for this incarnation. In conversation with Jamie Dodds (Pope Flag-dag the Brave) sharing their experiences, journeys, learning and un-learning from their off the map adventures through the counterculture. F23 is starting to look like some sort of Iron Man Records Patron Broadcasting these days. I can't believe it. It's brilliant. I haven't even started going through all the episodes yet, but I will. I had no idea so much has been going on while I've been working on other things like do these stairs go up? Or which way to…

UPDATE: Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill, Cambridgeshire

24 August 2020Mark

Some things I get involved with make no sense to me at all. The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures is one of them. Flinton Chalk is a dangerous optimist and I find it hard to say no. Would you take instruction from a used car salesman? This is the man who got chased across Fyfield Down near Avebury by a spectral Black Dog and used to spend his spare time dressing up as a Transvestite Pirate Nun, driving around in an old police car which was used in one of the Superman films. You may also know him from recent outings as a member of the band Badger Kull. Let…

TC Lethbridge in 2020 – Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On 

3 August 2020Mark

Long, long ago in in the deep forgotten past, three musicians came together in an ancient landscape and made music that drifted away, seemingly lost for all time. This was in Wiltshire around 1992. Would you like a copy of this book to read? You have three options. 1. Become an Iron Man Records Patron and I will send you a copy as an instant reward.
