Hey, groovy cats,
Today (4th February 2022) is one of those days when the lovely people at Bandcamp DON'T take their walloping great 10% cut of whatever artists manage to sell on their website on the day.
I guess what I'm saying is why not head on over to https://dwrmusic.bandcamp.com/music and purchase all my shoddily produced, at times quite flimsy sounding demos, learn the songs, then sing along next time I'm gigging in an actual venue.
You can also get a physical CD.
There's also t-shirts.
I intend to pop some new, beefier sounding demo stuff on there soon, AND, as promised a while back, get some stuff recorded properly.
DWR - coming to a venue near you. Sometime soon.

Dear people / cats who are so clever that they can read,

As you can see from this photo, the missus bought me a gold plated helicopter for Xmas, so I now officially don't "need the money" any more, as I have everything I need.
In fact I may retire.
However ....................... today (5th February 2021) is one of those days when the lovely people at Bandcamp DON'T take their walloping great 10% cut of whatever artists manage to sell on their website on the day.
I guess what I'm saying is - if you want to help me to afford to fuel up my helicopter, why not head on over to https://dwrmusic.bandcamp.com/music and purchase all my shoddily produced demos, safe in the knowledge that you'll be able to sing along next time I'm gigging in an actual venue.
You can also get a physical CD. Jeezuz! Is it 1996 again????
DWR - coming to a venue near you. Sometime soon. In his helicopter. Possibly.

It's been a while since this was shared by us herberts at Freddy Records.
The debut CD release from the fresh-faced DWR is still available. We got 800,000 made, and have still got 799,994 to sell. (Not really. We've actually managed to recoup the tens of pounds we invested in this release, and are currently blowing the profit on a couple of 10p mix-ups from Yak's ice cream van).
Anyhoo .........................
It's also available digitally.
A few other songs are also available digitally.
If you want it, you can have it. Here are some links -
Physical CD EP - https://dwrmusic.bandcamp.com/merch/disco-king-6-track-ep
Digital EP - https://dwrmusic.bandcamp.com/album/disco-king-6-track-e-p
Other demo stuff - https://dwrmusic.bandcamp.com/
Stay safe. Wash everything. Keep the hell away from Celtic players (For now. You can fo**le them all you like in a week or two).

Yer loon DWR uses Bandcamp and has asked us at FRHQ to make his entire fanbase aware that the 6th of November is one of those Fridays where the aforementioned Bandcamp people DON'T take a 10% slice of cash from any sales made during that 24 hour period.
This means an artist who would normally rake in 90p per day will make a whole quid this Friday!!!
Jeepers.
Anyhoo, if you want to help make DWR the richest artist in the IV12 area, log into Bandcamp this Friday and buy some music.
It beats the m***e out of giving all your money to Starbucks / Amazon / other tax dodgers.

It's been drawn to our attention here at Freddy Records HQ that we haven't plugged this for 11 days. That's more than 10 days. And certainly longer than a week.
This is the glorious Disco King EP by the wondrous DWR, released on the devastatingly stunning Freddy Records (named after a drum machine, NOT a singer from Queen).
It's on a CD, and it's also available digitally on Bandcamp.
If you want one (and who in their right mind wouldn't?), here are some links.

Much as we here at FRHQ don't like to sound repetitive ............... the debut EP from the luxuriant DWR which was released last month is selling like .......... ummm ......... slightly tepid cakes, but selling nonetheless.
Three electric tracks / three acoustic tracks. You know the score by now.
Thanks humungously to all the gorgeous brutes and brutesses who have purchased it thus far.
The Disco King EP tracks have now all been added to the DWR portfolio (?) on Bandcamp for digital listening / downloading etc.
CD still available via Bandcamp, or Ebay ( which I just found out today ISN'T a fishing village in Cornwall).
Here is / are some links for DWR stuff -

The debut release from the delightful DWR is selling reasonably steadily (that's record company jargon for "we'll break even, but we'll not be jetting off to the Bahamas this month, barring a lottery win").
For anyone who isn't likely to bump into the DWR lad himself in person in the near future, as he flaunts Lockdown 2 like the punk rocking anarchist he is*, the CD is still available from ebay at -
http://ebay.us/XOv1oh?cmpnId=5338273189

Somewhere on a cassette, I have an interview that Mick Jones did in 1982 on Radio 1 where he says that The Clash have "almost" broken even on the cost of the Sandinista! album (which had been released as a triple LP two year earlier). If memory serves, they needed to shift a 6 figure amount of copies of the album to make back the money they'd invested in recording and releasing it. But The Clash were artists. They were never a money-making operation.
The lovely DWR is still "in the red" following the release of this fine CD / EP / thing, a couple of weeks ago, but "almost" breaking even ............ and it's only taken a little over 2 weeks, NOT 2 years!!!
If you want to buy one of the 3 (or is it 4?) copies of this release which will push us "into the black" and mean we've actually got something to pay tax on this year, they're still available on ebay (and will remain so), via this here link - http://ebay.us/XOv1oh?cmpnId=5338273189
OR ............................... on Bandcamp (although if you get it via Bandcamp wait until tomorrow coz they're having one of those days where they don't take their 10% slice, meaning the financially poor artists make a few pence more on whatever gets sold for one day only ......... and again, the taxman / taxwoman gets his / her extra pennies as well!!!) - https://dwrmusic.bandcamp.com/merch/disco-king-6-track-ep
The Disco King EP is also available to download at Bandcamp now, as is all the stuff that was on there before, although it's been re-jigged into 2 x 9 track "albums", as opposed to the 4 "albums" that were on there previously.
Love and hugs

Quite frankly delighted to officially release this little collection of home recorded ditties as the debut thing on your new least favourite label - Freddy Records.
DWR is a middle-aged youngster (that's a thing, right?) from the Highlands of Scotland who has written a few tunes in his lifetime, and wants to share them with other people's eardrums.
This wonderful CD (yes, I DID say CD) is available from various places, most notably eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353201138877
or Bandcamp -
https://dwrmusic.bandcamp.com/merch/disco-king-6-track-ep
or by stopping me in the street and thrusting 3 quid into my incredibly well sanitised hand.

Hands up anyone who thinks this is a cracking design for the front of my debut EP!!!
