Gurdan is a travelling musician, original thinker and totally free spirit who divides his time travelling between the UK and Germany, stopping off to play at places he finds along the way and often assembling a scratch backing band from whoever happens to be around. You can follow his progress over on Twitter, where he goes by the name @gurdanthomas.

Having produced 2 self-released albums, ?Graceful Rabbits? (2007) and ?Gnodelly Gnodelly? (2008), he will be releasing his 3rd album, ?The Fat Lady Sings? on Commercially Inviable on 27th September 2010. Two weeks prior to the album release we are also releasing a limited single, ?Todd?.

?The Fat Lady Sings?was partly recorded in England, in Gurdan?s van, and in the Villa Waldbertha, Munich, but almost all of it was created at the Meier farm in Stockau, Bavaria along with performances from musician / farmers Wastl and Katl Meier (pictured with Gurdan and dog below). Meanwhile the 3 songs on the ?Todd?single were recorded right here in Birmingham over the course of an April weekend spent in Bob Lamb?s Kings Heath studio. Both releases contain performances from completely different groups of musicians but feautre songs written and performed in Gurdan?s unique style - Think The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band meets Gogol Bordello.
