ME1 – A Medway Eyes Compilation
Medway Eyes is, in its own words, “an informal umbrella organisation that supports, promotes and collaborates with Medway artists and venues”. It recently celebrated its first birthday with both a gig and the release of a downloadable bundle of music, pictures and words, entitled ME1.
Alongside Lupen Crook’s Kick Up The Leaves, the compilation – named after central Medway’s postcode – contains material from numerous Medway musicians, many of whom fall under the loosely-defined ‘Medway Non-League Extreme’ banner referred to by Mr Crook in an interview last year.
In keeping with the charitable theme of this week’s blog posts, the ME1 compilation is “donationware” and supports both Oxjam and Amnesty International. It provides a fascinating insight into the diverse creativity of Medway’s thriving artistic underground. Download it now and check it out.



Phil will be talking to Radio Scilly about Medway Eyes and the ME1 album at around 8:30 tonight. Listen live at http://bit.ly/DEr2K
Really enjoyed (most of) this! The Bresslaws have a track called ‘Jezreels Tower’ we have a track called ‘Shilohs Tower’, which is about the Jezreels Tower…….strange coincidence! x
