Michael Shelley : Mellow Doubt

The last post I put up was the Cheeky Monkey collaboration between Scotland's own Francis MacDonald and New York based Michael Shelley. Before finding the album in my local Oxfam, Shelley was a complete unknown to me but after a trawl through his excellent website I found these recordings he made of the Teenage Fanclub song Mellow Doubt.

I recently wrote about another CD I bought by a band called Moondials who included Stevie Jackson of Belle and Sebastian in the line up. Well it seems that Jackson also played bass guitar for Cheeky Monkey when they recorded a slot for the 'Beatroom' television show in Glasgow. It's a small world indeed. [see photo here]

Cheeky Monkey

Yet another charity shop find and yet again another Scottish band that I previously hadn't heard of. Cheeky Monkey were a transatlantic collaboration between Francis MacDonald (BMX Bandits, Eugenius, Teenage Fanclub) and New York based musician Michael Shelley.
