Instantly get everything I make, and then some.

Welcome to the plot! This is where all the allotment tapes will live after being aired to the public for a month- on the last Friday of each month throughout 2026, I will be releasing a new ep inspired by, and featuring field recordings and conversations from St Anns Allotment in Nottingham- the oldest and largest allotment site in Europe!

The 'tapes' will mainly be digital, with occasional physical extras... I like the idea that there's something rough and personal about them (and I'm a sucker for magnetic tape nostalgia).

I'm really excited about this undertaking and am looking forward to bringing you monthly releases... to keep it going, however, I could really do with your support in subscribing- the project is currently not funded and its rather time consuming.. (I'm not complaining! It's a labour of love but I do need some help in order to make it viable).

There are three tiers. First is £35 per year and will mean you get each monthly (digital) 'tape' to own as soon as they come out, plus regular updates and behind the scenes audio/footage.

Second is £50 and includes a bespoke and individual to you package from the plot including a tape, a polaroid photo and extra goodies.

Lastly (call it the Titchmarsh tier if you like) the third tier is £100.. this will include 4 (seasonal) physical bespoke tapes/polaroids and more packages... and immense thanks!

Current subscribers can choose to stay doing what they're doing (and still receive all the releases, or move across.

Plus, access to all of my digital catalogue and 15% off merch!

Thanks so much and hope you enjoy the journey.
