Extras

Bonus materials related to the concept album.

Troubled Soul (trunk song)

This song has been cut from the show, but it's still worth listening to Max's wonderful demo. (They are some lyric errors - this was the first demo)

Me and My Mind - Nick Carter version

I was lucky to have the wonderful Nick Carter sing this Vinnie song at Crazy Coqs in April 2022.

The Teeth of the Wind

Painting outdoors, this is Paul’s first experience of the Mistral, the strong, icy wind that plagues the South of France. Vinnie doesn’t want the weather to put them off work, but Paul wonders why on earth they should paint in such conditions. Small cracks start to show in their relationship.

This song is intended for the show, but I've taken it off the playlist because it's a songwriter demo sung by me, and doesn't match the tracks with Max and Charlie!

Sunflower Power - Buchan and Barne version

When I sent my songwriting friends Jim Barne and Kit Buchan an early demo of Sunflower Power, I was astonished when they replied with their own LIVE cover version! Enjoy!

Wheatfield with Crows - live at Iris Theatre

COMING SOON! In November 2021, Max did the first public performance of a song from the show, for Mercury Musical Devlopments' open mic night. This is a VERY lo-fi video, and Max is battling a noisy heater throughout. Still, it's here for posterity!
