Right, so Captain Flatcap's been waiting a while to announce this one.... The fine people at Glueball Records will be releasing 'Funky Farmers' as a single! With remixes from Torolla and Cavego.
We're also playing a couple of gigs in the next few weeks!
We'll be performing live for the very first time at The Stoke Pub' in Guildford on March 30th. The event is being run by WIZmedia and is entitled 'Coverless'. It's a showcase night for performers to promote their original material and for music lovers to discover new sounds. We'll be playing only for half an hour at 9PM , so get there early just in case you miss us!
Next, on April 7th we're playing our first proper gig at The BOILEROOM, and what better event than the Vintage Night! We're playing at 8PM and I also have the privilege of playing an Electro Swing DJ set from 12 - 1am. This is going to be fuuuuuuun! Spread the word! : )
Aaaannnnnd, I've done a little electro swing mix to celebrate Spring being here! Whoop whoop!
Big up everyone who's helped us on our musical voyage so far! Stay tuned for more update soon by following us on facebook. PEACE, LOVE AND UNITY!

Captain Flatcap
Right, so It appears to all be kicking off... Not going to actually write anything down about it just yet, just in case I jinx it... but shizzle is going down yo!
To fill you in on Captain Flatcap, for those of you who don't know:
Think electro house meets swing and folk, dirty basslines fused with live instrumental melodies. When performing live, the Captain and his crew accompany quirky synths and heavy beats with cajon, guitar, trumpet, flute and mandolin.
Here's a live studio session of our first release, 'Funky Farmers', video by Burning Wick Productions:
Here's a sneaky mini mix of forthcoming material:
Here's our second release 'Carolina Shout' (FREE DOWNLOAD!). It's our debut electro swing track. Featuring myself on Mandolin and my brother Tom Rotherham on Trumpet. Piano samples from 'Carolina Shout' performed by Fats Waller in 1941. Originally by ragtime composer James P. Johnson.
mmmmmm... that's about it for now!
More updates coming very soon! Big love to all!!
