Welcome...I am LM Cooke, author, musician, radio DJ, historian and all-round good egg. Except when I'm bad, or just plain evil.
This is my redesigned website. If you've visited before, everything is still here, (except the things that aren't), but some of it looks a little different. Feel free to have a meander through the pages. Share some cheese. I hope you'll find something to interest you; there's music, words, pictures; there may or may not be digital cheese... do look out for the crows, though. They can turn murderous. So I'm told. |

LM Cooke music: debut live performance at the Pheonix Alternative Festival, August 2017
That's right, LM Cooke Music made a sneak live performance at this year's Phoenix Alternative Festival, Llanfyllin Workhouse, Wales, on the #GASP radio show stage.
There were some technical issues (Extreme CD Death), but at least one piece of evidence has emerged unscathed - have a listen to a youtube video here...
Thanks to Steven C. Davis for footage and for co-hosting the stage, and to Karin, Dale and Steampunk Records for inviting me to the Phoenix Festival. I'll be back!
And I also now have a reverbnation page, should you frequent that particular bit of social media...

Mediaeval Biaetches: Biaetchcraft at the Ogri...
With songs catchier than the Black Death, we Biaetches three seek to entertain, educate and occasionally sacrifice the masses.
We will be performing our blend of Mediaeval musical stylings with lashings of added zombies and Cthulhu at the Steampunk records charity event at the Ogri, Cirencester, 15-17 September, 2017.
Find out more on the Mediaeval Biateches facebook page or on the dedicated page in the music section of this site
Raising Steam III: New music from LM Cooke
If you have been patiently waiting for more solo music from me, then wait no longer.
The new virtual album, Raising Steam III contains not just one but two of my tunes, alongside music from a huge range of other artists - see for yourself from the poster.
Raising Steam is the brainchild of author and DJ Steven C/ Davis. Just like the previous two volumes, all artists have donated their tracks free of charge in order to raise funds for the charity New Futures Nepal, who work with disadvantaged children and adults in Nepal.
The download is currently available from Bandcamp for just £5. You can read more about it in my blog of 6 March 2017.

LM Cooke music is here...
It's true, friends, the solo music is here! Public performances may be tricky as I am generally performing all sounds myself (with some notable guest appearances as exceptions), and I find it difficult to concentrate on singing and playing at the same time (ahem). But hey, there's always backing tapes, right?
A first choon, Poor Jenny, debuted on the GASP radio launch show on Midlands Metalheads on Sat 1st October, and is now available for free download via my new LM Cooke bandcamp page - take advantage if you like what you hear. More stuff will be forthcoming shortly... (Don't call me Shortly). And as above, you can find out more (and have a listen to the choon) on the LM Cooke solo music dedicated page on the music section of this site.
