23 April 2024Mark

“We talk in black and white, ones and zeros and satellites, and one day we just might, replace our very souls.” John Murry's lyrics, often drawing from personal experiences, create a profound and emotionally resonant connection with his audience. His ability to convey raw and authentic emotions through his music has garnered critical acclaim, with his debut solo record, "The Graceless Age," being recognized by various reputable sources such as Uncut, Mojo, The Guardian, and American Songwriter. “The longer you spend in the darkness with him, the more beauty you’ll see.” – Country Music Magazine John's connection to the Nobel Prize-winning American novelist William Faulkner adds a layer of literary and…

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. 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…

“We talk in black and white, ones and zeros and satellites, and one day we just might replace our very souls.” John Murry’s third album, ‘The Stars Are God’s Bullet Holes’ was produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey, Eels, Aldous Harding, This Is the Kit) at Rockfield Studios in Monmouth. Now based in Ireland, Murry has released two critically acclaimed albums, his 2012 debut ‘The Graceless Age’ Age’ (“…a work of genius” ***** The Guardian) and the 2017 follow-up ‘A Short History Of Decay’ (“..delivers in gloriously dysfunctional bucketloads” **** Mojo). The starkly beautiful ‘Ones + Zeros’ has a meditative, melancholic feel, with warm analogue crackles, subtle percussion and soothing backing vocals…

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…

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…

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.

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…

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. You can also request download codes for all three TC Lethbridge releases to date. 2. If you don't want to do the Patron thing, I will put a few copies for Sale at £23.00 each in the Iron Man Shop and also on Bandcamp when…

TC Lethbridge – Project to Uncover Ancient Hill Figures on Wandlebury Hill, Cambridgeshire

23 April 2020Mark

What’s the best thing you can do with £100? I think I’ve said this before, If you spend too much time in a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behaviour, or social interaction you might end up working with music. Living life in a completely deluded state, generating massive debt for no apparent reason can prove to be a nonsense. Sometimes I do things for money. Sometimes I do things for free, and sometimes I do things I don’t really understand. As the Cheshire Cat says “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” I like to take my nonsense seriously. You can be sitting…
