Agitated Radio Pilot (David Colohan and cohorts) has a limited 3" CD called A Field Day out on Ireland's Rusted Rail label and it's a 6 track EP of earnest singer songwriter gear that straddles a folkish vibe. Our Business Lady is laughing at the lyrics, I heard a mention of watching Withnail and I which is always good. The musicians play piano, melodica, accordian , banjo etc. and it all sounds really quite delicate leaving plenty of space for the songman to do his thing. If were into the Slow Loris disc then give this a whirl. It's no happy ride mind but a goodie to weep into the whisky glass to.

A lynchpin of the Deserted Village collective, David Colohan has been exploring lonely trajectories for many years as Agitated Radio Pilot. "Your Turn To Go It Alone" sees the pilot draw haunted airs and comforting campfire ballads from the midlands forest mists. This double 3" e.p. is housed in a handmade mini-gatefold sleeve.

"A Field Day" is a 6 track EP by Agitated Radio Pilot, a conceptual Australian travelogue documenting an expanded and folkier line-up of the 'Pilot featuring such instruments as accordion, melodica, musical saw, bouzouki, banjo, double bass, piano and all manner of guitars. "A Field Day" was recorded throughout 2008/2009 in various locations around Ireland, in empty theatres, sunny living rooms, on a horse farm and whilst snowed in at the foot of mountains. This 3inch hand-stamped EP of ambling acoustica and fireplace folk is housed in a handmade sleeve.
