“About a year later than everyone else, I’m finally doing one of these,” William Doyle says.

William Doyle will present his new album Great Spans Of Muddy Time during a livestream gig from Crouch End Studios on the day of its release, March 19th.

“It will be the only one,” Doyle continues. “I’ll be playing a range of material solo, including songs from the new album, with all my usual bells and whistles. I’ll see you, sort of, on the 19th! Hopefully I’ll be off air before Gardeners’ World starts…”

Great Spans Of Muddy Time was first announced back in January, the best part of a decade since his Mercury-nominated East India Youth chapter began when he handed a CD-R demo to John Doran at a gig.

“The album this turned out to be – and that I’ve wanted to make for ages – is a kind of Englishman-gone-mad, scrambling around the verdancy of the country’s pastures looking for some sense,” he said.

“It has its seeds in Robert Wyatt, early Eno, Robyn Hitchcock, and Syd Barrett.”
