A beautiful film by the very talented Bernice Hobbs and Emily Turvey, featuring the wonderfully gifted Corina Mann. For the song Fairytales Midstream by Tim Friers and The Mercenaries.

A lockdown hoedown video produced by Andy 'Beats' Magee (the Mercenary drummer supreme) for our popular live toon Elephant standing on one leg. All footage taken with hand-held socially distanced mobile phone. Go on, get up and dance - no one can see you, and if they could ...?

Autumn Breeze is a song of loss and affectionate memory of halcyon days. People gone from the physical world but alive in their own slice of time. Suspended in the amber of recollection. This is a movie made by the very talented up and coming music video and film maker Bernice Hobbs. The Tim Friers song is produced by the ever sparkling Tony Poole and is the fourth track on The Mercenaries album Sawdust Town. Available from CD Baby and all other digital outlets.

Elwell & Sons – the Tipton-based coal carrying company operating on the Birmingham Canal Network. In her previous prime, she would have towed eight 'Joey' boats each holding around 35 tonnes of coal. Progress was converted to a hire boat by Jimmy Yates in the late 1950s and renamed Pintail. The present Fowler 2DYM diesel engine (1944) was first installed in 1958. She was fully renovated between 1997 and 2000 by Jem Bates and Trevor Whitling – including having her name restored to Progress. Bill Mann, Trevor Allum and Phil Kidd acquired Progress in 2017 for the David Blagrove Trust and completed a full restoration of the cabin. Progress was bought by Stuart Miller in 2020. She was the first acquisition for the fleet of Towpath Productions.
