Great British Holiday EPs

by Darren Hayman

Tim Walker This set compiles the four EPs recorded by the ex-Hefner frontman on his holidays round the UK between 2003-2006. Quirky lo-fi songs with ukuleles, guitars, "retro" electronica and Hayman's keen observational lyrics. A great intro to his work. Favorite track: The Only Kind Of Light (Ukulele Songs from the North Devon Coast EP).

about

Between 2005 and 2007 Darren released four EPs detaling his British Holidays. Darren would take ukuleles, minidisks and casio keyboards to caravan parks, Butlins and B and Bs. The songs are sweet and tender, lo-fi vignettes about lost youth, faded photographs and half-understood Britishness.

This is quite a package, as well as featuring all of the EP songs, Darren has recorded 3 holiday cover versions; Holiday Road (originally by Lyndsey Buckingham from the film National Lampoons Vacation), Margate (originally by Chas and Dave) and V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N. (originally by Connie Francis).

This set was released on CD with a bonus DVD, which is available from www.hefnet.com.
