Ford Timelord by Flinton Chalk and The Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures.

7 February 2023Mark

Iron Man Records works with the artist Flinton Chalk of the band TC Lethbridge. After many years of discussion and a true odyssey to track down the missing photographs, Iron Man Records produced the first in a series of limited edition 50cm x 70cm Lithographic Prints, limited to a signed run of 111 copies. These prints are available only to Patrons.

Lethbridge’s methodology and theories were widely deemed unorthodox, and in turn he became increasingly critical of…

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).

Eventually, discarded onto the streets of Memphis, he found music, which became the one constant positive force in his life. Memphis led to San…
