Captain Wilberforce - Demos and Radio Tracks

Leeds based singer songwriter Simon Bristoll has been hard at it for the last 12 years.  As Captain Wilberforce he has released 3 full length albums and two EPs.  Bristoll does a great job mixing in a biting lyrical snarl within rich dramatic songscapes.  Every tune tells a story and takes the listener through a forest of melodic twists and turns.  The musicians that have helped Bristoll over the years are pros and his albums rock and sound great as well.   Since 2014, they've released two EPs on Bandcamp available as "name your price" downloads.   They are two parts of a three part album.  The third part is evidently writen and recorded with a potential june release for the completed album.   Very excited and based on the earlier two ep's I'd expect the CD to end up on my based of the year list.

In anticipation, I've put together a compendium of demos and radio tracks.   The first three songs are from the extremely hard to find 2004 Demo EP "Dreams of Educated Fleas"   If anyone has the complete CD at a better bit rate, I'd appreciate if they'd let me know.   I've also included several live and studio sessions.  Enjoy.  Here's to wishing Captain Wilberforce the overdue success they deserve
