about

Clay Pipe welcomes back the Tinderstick’s Keyboard player for his third release on the label. This time he presents the long-form track ‘Factory’ as part of the label’s new series of Mini CDs.

“My Mother started working in one of Nottingham’s lace factories when she was 15 years old, and was there until the early eighties, when most closed their doors for good.

As a young boy, I’d spend school holidays sat in a corner, not able to stay home alone, with a book and some pencils, watching the men and women making Nottingham’s famous lace. Eating a sandwich in the canteen. Pushing carts of off cuts and damages around, trying to help out. The big machine was already silent. Its hole punched cards still hanging from it. I always thought they looked very futuristic. Like the computer cards I saw in the science fiction films of the day.

I have fond memories of watching the big factory in motion. The people, the sounds, the smell. It all seemed very exciting. I guess for the people who’d been working there all their lives - and could see an end to it - It had a very different feel. This music is inspired by my time sat in that corner of a world now gone.”
