Leamington band makes Christmas single by recording individual parts of song while on lockdown

The band, made up of lead singer and rhythm guitarist Ben Taylor, bass guitarist Gary Ryan., Ian 'Jim' Black on lead guitar, Nick Mew on guitar, bass and other noises and drummer/percussionist Colin Bean, recorded each of their parts of the song individually and then put them together digitally for the Christmas song Where the Stars Fall.

The band have said: "As you are probably aware Covid has had a huge impact on musicians and bands, with a lot of our gigs, including a major festival, all cancelled or postponed, so we were keen to continue doing what we love doing and making music.

"The brilliant artwork for the single was by local author and illustrator Christine Cuddihy especially for the song."

Man Made Moon formed back in 2015 and released their first single, Let's Grow Old Together, on Valentine's Day in the following year.

Having performed at some of Warwickshire’s notable venues and festivals, including the Leamington Peace Festival, Stratford River Festival, Napton Festival and Warwick Beer Festival, to name but a few and supporting Mark Morriss of The Bluetones on a number of occasions, plus songs played on BBC introducing and live appearances on Touch FM, Radio Warwickshire and BBC Radio, the future looks bright for Man Made Moon.

The single will be available on streaming sites from Friday (November 4).
