2023 Well its been a while since we added any news. Moving house from London to the South Coast, UK has been exciting but time consuming and while I have been working on new ideas, I have nothing at the recording stage as yet. I will, however, continue to upload individual tracks and albums that are available.

Helter Skelter
Illustrated and produced by Sharon Fuller
18th April 2022 New Video: Helter Skelter
It has been a great pleasure to have written the sound track for a new video by Sharon Fuller. Helter Skelter is a 4.5 minute delightfully quirky animation, illustrated and produced by Sharon. The music/sound track was recorded with Tony Wilson at Herne Bay Studios. This has been an opportunity to thank Sharon for the video work she has done for me previously (Bob’s Old Mine, Ghost Boy and Recording On the Up Beat). I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we have enjoyed making it

London Clay will be available on most streaming providers from 4th Febuary 2022
23rd January 2022: Studio City Now, California USA interview: Michele Marotta chatting with Lee Fardon Studio City
Lee Fardon and Mark Knopfler
People have been asking me about a song I recorded with Mark Knopfler called Window Display. It was recorded as a single in 1980 but never released, however I re-recorded it for the album The God Given Right.
I released the original recording on a limited edition album in 2002 called Lost and Found, which is no longer available
Over the course of this year I will be posting some further songs and music that were recorded but either not released or only in limited editions.
Listen to the original recording of Window Display below
January 2022: I have just made available for digital download all the tracks from my album London Clay. Head to shop, digital downloads to find these and others.
Dec 2021 In memory of my good friend and musician, Dr Noel (Red) Brown, who sadly died this Christmas, here is a track called “Rave On” featuring Noel on guitar. Recorded in 1990, the song makes specific reference to Noel.

Maurizio Galli has written a review of on the Up Beat for mind.altervista.org and included Bob’s Old Mine video 4th Dec 2021
New video Ghost Boy added to YouTube 4th December 2021. View via link on main page or search YouTube where you will find this with Bob’s Old mine and Studio Recording for On the Up Beat. There are also lots of old videos from way back if you are interested.
Aldo Pedron has written a biography and discography, see Mescalina 2nd Dec 2021
As of 1st December 2021 tracked postage and packaging will be added to all CDs. Although this raises the cost of my albums, I have reduced the unit price for “On the Up Beat” from £20 with free postage to £18 + postage. There is nothing to beat the quality of a physical product and the new album comes with a superb illustrated lyric book. This album is available on streaming services, but this does not offer the lovely package and does not support the costs of making the recording. Did you know streaming offers virtually no income to the artist?
Australian radio has been giving On the Upbeat some airplay Goldfields FM 991 thanks Renee DeRobertis
Watch a video documenting recording some of the tracks from On the Up Beat at Room with a View Studios.
Streaming release date for On the Up Beat is November 10th 2021. You can pre-save now by pressing on the listen bar on the footer.
Musicians On the Up Beat

Recording at Room with a View Recording Studios, Ringwood 2021
“I wrote and recorded On the Up Beat during 2020 and 2021, despite imposed restrictions on travel and the necessity for social distancing. Whilst most of the album was recorded at Room with a View in Hampshire, it started initially in a small London studio, Attic Sounds where the rhythm section for two of the tracks were recorded, with guitar added at Plymouth Music Co-operative.”
