Basic Plumbing ‘Keeping Up Appearances’ album our 24 January

In 2016 Patrick Doyle (Veronica Falls, The Royal We, Boys Forever…) relocated from London to LA, midway through writing his new album under the name Basic Plumbing.

On moving to LA he continued working on the songs for his next record – emailing them to Helen Skinner (who toured as a member of the Boys Forever three-piece live band and now plays in Barry) who added a bass line to the songs and sent them back to Patrick. They continued to finish writing the record via email and in February 2017 Helen joined Patrick in LA to record ‘Keeping Up Appearances’.Tragically, Patrick passed away shortly after the release of ‘As You Disappear’. Helen and Patrick’s family have been keen to realise Patrick’s plan for the album release and it will now get a full release with profits from sales going to charities chosen by Patrick’s family – LA’s LGBT Centre and CALM.’Keeping Up Appearances’ will be available on CD, LP and download on 24th January.
