I have started a Bandcamp page which means I will be able to upload and sell recordings on which I own the copyright. It’s probably long overdue…….
https://mickharvey1.bandcamp.com
First upload is 'The Journey', a 4-part composition recorded with The Letter String Quartet and broadly in support of the refugees on Manus Island, Nauru and Christmas Island but generally in support of refugees and their plight everywhere. By the end of January I should have uploaded “The Wallbangers’ EP and some other, more obscure soundtrack work I have been involved in.
The video for Part 4 of The Journey, "Hope" can be seen here -

All profits from 'The Journey' will go to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) in Melbourne
I can now take orders for my albums through the online store Music Glue -

It will not be available for pre-order at this site.
