Gentle pestering.. About right.

Just wanted to apologise for the week’s delay of the release date. Universal, Sony or Warner we most certainly are not and, by all accounts, we can think ourselves lucky it’s only a week. Thanks for your patience. #TheHawks #Obviously5Believers

Updating an update never feels good but please see below. Pretty confident the further delay shouldn’t affect your enjoyment when you finally hear it. But apologies all the same. #TheHawks #Obviously5Believers

Some fresh Seventeen Records news - at last. Pleased to say we’ve just started pre-orders for Micky Greaney’s new album “And Now It’s All This” from mickygreaney.Bandcamp.com Vinyl, CD and download. Here’s what people are saying so far….

We’re including a free 2 track CDr single with the first 50 pre-orders (launched just yesterday) on Bandcamp of vinyl copies of Micky Greaney’s new album “And Now It’s All This”. Still a few left. mickygreaney.bandcamp.com

Seventeen Records Ordered - one of those 200 pieces of vinyl will be mine!

Lost mid-90s album from Birmingham singer-songwriter Micky Greaney, now finally getting a release with all the loving care that we expect from midlands label Seventeen Records. Elegant folk-rock that reminds us of Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake and the Kinks. jumborecords.co.uk/music-single.a…
