Euros Childs 'Beehive Beach' LP

Beehive Beach sees Euros’ melodic and lyrical flair undimmed on this, his 20th solo album.

The album features a stellar band: Stephen Black (aka Sweet Baboo) on bass and clarinet, Stuart Kidd on drums and vocals and Georgia Ruth on vocals and recorder. Recorded at Studiowz in Pembrokeshire by Owain Fleetwood Jenkins.

Euros’ previous four albums have been wholly solo affairs, but Beehive Beach sees Euros taking a different approach - playing and singing live in the studio with a band. “There's something special about capturing a song live in the studio,” says Euros, “it sets the song in a time and place, like capturing an image. It's also a lot of fun”.

Richly melodic, with an undercurrent of melancholia running throughout, Beehive Beach features ruminations on childhood - Black and White Dinner, Ursula's Crow - an ode to 1950s T.V and radio personality Isobell Barnett - Isobell – and celebrations of music and creativity - My Companion, Elspeth on the Shore - as well as self-reflection - A Different Kind of Blue, See-Saw.
