In early 2008 The Hedge Schools became the musical vehicle for the songs of former Ten Speed Racer bass player Patrick M Barrett. The debut record, NEVER LEAVE ANYWHERE was recorded and produced by his former Bandmate Joe Chester. At The End Of A Winding Day is the follow to the 2008 debut and is due for release 23rd of January 2015. Comprising 9 songs, it was recorded and produced again by Joe Chester, in instalments, in his Blessington Street Studios. It features contributions on trumpet from Donagh Molloy from Lisa Hannigan’s band and the cello work of Kevin Murphy from Seti the First and Adrian Crowley’s band.
