Neil Cowley Trio New EP and Tour Dates For '25

First of all, a hello to all my regular mailing listers. I’ve transferred everything over to here at Substack for a number of reasons. One of which is to centralise my communication output; another being that Mailchimp is becoming more and more difficult to wrestle with, but that’s another story!

I will continue to publish my essays on here, but if there is any important information to communicate I will do it here also. A tour announcement here and a record release there at most…. which leads me onto the reason for today’s post.

The ‘Separate Entities EP’ is due for release on April 4th, with a single up front due out on March 14th. Here is the link to pre-save . This is a 3 track EP with tracks recorded over 3 different sessions. The first single ‘Minute’ was recorded alongside ‘Entity’ (our recent album) but somehow sat in a world of its own. It reminds me of the little minuets I used to play as a child on the piano and the title reflects that, albeit incorrectly. Until recently I used to think that the English translation of the word Minuet was ‘Minute’ and represented the rough duration of such tunes. Turns out I was wrong, but it’s too late now! The other tunes ‘Hornet’ (a vespa of a tune) and ‘For The Want Of…’ (a soothing antihistamine!) complete the EP.

And by way of a sign off, a reminder that our 2025 Entity tour is underway, though it really gathers momentum in April. See the dates below and find the links to the tickets here.
