Sir Larry Longshanks lead vocal, guitar and Pinot noir with Art Skylake all other instruments and backing vocals.
The Moma Le Fay Spirit Bird Sessions were produced by Art Skylake and tour manager Sir Larry Longshanks. Late one Friday night Moma had flown home after recording her vocal tracks, including the hit single Spirit Bird (11), Art and Larry staggered back to the Soho studio after an all night drinking session at The Coach & Horses, to record their own unique takes on 'Spirit Bird’ (see below).

The Spirit Bird Sessions - more commonly known as 'Moma Mia! - Here We Bloody Go Again' was never officially released. The discarded master tapes were rescued from a skip at the back of Skylake Studios by 'A Mystery Fan' who then released them as a limited edition C60 cassette called 'Track 10' on the dark web fan site Mad Moma. A copy of this rare tape was recently sold at Sotherby's for $10 million to an anonymous buyer.
Bonus track: The original master tape of the legendary ‘lost' Track 10 was recently discovered stuffed down the back seat of a London taxi cab and is now included in the download of the album available from Bandcamp.
We hope you enjoy this 2024 digital remaster by Art Skylake.
A photo though to be of 'The Mystery Fan' or possibly the anonymous buyer.

GLASS COLOURS MEET THE BELVEDERE HILLBILLIES
Blues scholars have noted some similarities between this and the legendary Louisiana blues singer Myopic Willy Picket’s 1946 recording of ‘Fold Time’ , however Belvedere Hillbillies lead singer Sir Alf ‘Pinky’ Longshanks strongly rejects these claims: "It is mere coincidence darling, and anyone who says otherwise will be hearing from my lawyers in the morning".
Well you can decide for yourself when Myopic Willy headlines Glastonbury later this year, and again in 2045.
Myopic Willy Picket pictured here folding time and space with his grandma down in Louisiana in 1946.
