Welcome...I am LM Cooke, author, musician, radio DJ, historian and all-round good egg. Except when I'm bad, or when I'm very very bad.
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. |

That's right, the Gothic Alternative Steampunk and Progressive Radio Show is now broadcasting via Midlands Metalheads radio station, and will be on air every Saturday, 8-11pmUK time.
Co-host Steven C. Davis & I will still be at the helm, and you can still expect the same eclectic mix of beautiful choons and drivel talked by presenters. And just as before, you can join in on the facebook event. The GASP launch night event is up and running now...
And there's more! With Midlands Metalheads, you get to listen to us in stereo, too!
Tune in via Midlands Metalheads website, via Tune-in or via i-tunes. Find out more via the dedicated GASP radio page on this website. See you Saturday!

The Mediaeval Biaetches are back...
Following the demise earlier this year of my band Crimson Clocks, I'm very pleased to announce that the moozic is back!
Firstly, I can announce the return of Mediaeval Biaetches. With songs catchier than the Black Death, we Biaetches three seek to entertain, educate and occasionally sacrifice the masses. Mediaeval musical stylings with lashings of added zombies and Cthulhu. Following a slaying performance at the Phoenix Alternative Festival 2016, we hope to be back amongst you soon. Find out more on the Mediaeval Biateches facebook page or on the dedicated page in the music section of this site

...and solo 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, will debut on the GASP radio launch show on Midlands Metalheads on Sat 1st October, and will be available for free download via my new LM Cooke bandcamp page shortly thereafter - 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 on the LM Cooke solo music dedicated page on the music section of this site.
