First studio album in 11 years for Normandy-based, English psychedelic folk musician/painter, Mark Fry

When 19-year-old Mark Fry recorded his debut album 'Dreaming With Alice' for RCA sublabel, "It" in Italy in 1971, little did he know that it would become a much-sought-after, much -bootlegged "acid folk" classic three decades later, with millions of Spotify plays. Fry, an acclaimed painter in the interim, returned to making music in 2008 and has released three more acclaimed studio albums - this, 'Not On The Radar,' is the fourth. These days, far less "acid" than in his youth, Fry still knows his way around a beautiful melody. The new album, recorded with musician friends at his Normandy home studio and produced by David Sheppard (Ellis Island Sound/ State River Widening) is resplendent with love songs, the beauty of nature and the passing of time. 

Full press, radio, online PR campaign both in the UK and in the EU, handled by Big Mouth Publicity. Mark plays a very rare London show, as an album launch, with full band, on the day of release, at Stone Nest, Shaftsbury Avenue, London.
