*ALL PROCEEDS TO CANCER RESEARCH UK*

Ahoy me Hearties! It's time to swab your decks and shiver your timbers to the salty sea shanty NAVY HEAD, performed by Quatermass III. Set sail and dig this buried treasure on Bandcamp. Avast ye! There'll be no flogging here. The track is available for free but if you choose to donate, all proceeds will be given to Cancer Research UK.

Navy Head is our contribution to the compilation cassette "Train Driver In Eyeliner – Nick Sanderson Revisited – The Earl Brutus Cover Versions" available from Industrial Coast. All profits for this release will be donated to Cancer Research UK.

“Looking out the window of a train is the only time I feel really relaxed.”
Nick Sanderson

Nick Sanderson was a train driver. He wore eyeliner. On April 22nd 2021 he should have been 60 years old. A lighting conductor of creative disturbance, as frontman of the legendary Earl Brutus, Nick knew all about the strange and inescapable ambiguities of the British condition.
Train Driver in Eyeliner is a Memorial Device that remembers him in all his genius and life-force, a collection of 19 Earl Brutus Greats, specially recorded by friends, family and fanatics including Saint Etienne, the Jesus & Mary Chain’s Jim Reid, Luke Haines’ Surrey Wrecking Crew, plus Nick’s wife and son Romi and Syd, Earl Brutus bandmates and spiritual glam rock peers Giuda.

It’s all available as a limited-edition cassette, a medium that is both retrospective and incredible futuristic – like the life and times of Nick himself.
