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. |

Nursery Rhymes for the Apocalypse: the album from LM Cooke music now available
My first solo album, Nursery Rhymes for the Apocalypse is now available for download from my bandcamp page. Physical CDs are also available (purchase option will be added to the bandcamp page very soon!)
12 songs (plus two interludes) of murder, winter, wolves, crows, plague, and of course, the end of the world, some traditional and some not so traditional. Bandcamp also allows you to have a listen to the entire album before making a decision to purchase.
Get in touch with your dark side. We have cookies!

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.
