David Ford Offers His Apology
By way of the beach in Nice, the rain in Manchester and a commune in Lewes, David Ford has spent the last few months in the derelict cellar under his flat recording the bunch of songs that make up the DIY masterpiece you hold in your hand. Ahead of that will come a download video single of a 'live in the studio in one take' recording of what is fast becoming David's show stopping, jaw dropping polemic classic 'State Of The Union'

'I Sincerely Apologise For All The Trouble I've Caused' is an album of words and melodies that whisper and shout defiantly at the constant disappointments that litter our lives.

Any attempts at modern comparisons don't quite get to the heart of David Ford's talent. To find his actual peers you have to go back to some of the great curveball mainstream mavericks of melody, romance and inventiveness - artists such as Todd Rundgren, Tom Waits, Laura Nyro and Harry Nilsson. Not that David Ford cares all that much for comparisons - he's too busy moving forward.

The album tracklisting is:

1. I Don't Care What You Call Me
2. State Of The Union
3. What Would You Have Me Do?
4. Cheer Up (You Miserable Fuck)
5. A Long Time Ago
6. Don't Tell Me
7. Katie (What The Fuck Is Going On)
8. If You Only Knew
9. Laughing Aloud
