Other info:

Penguin Cafe is a continuation by Arthur Jeffes of the ideas and music that his father, Simon Jeffes the English composer and musician, created with the enduring and ever-evolving concept of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

During the last two years they've been touring and playing the original music and adding a few new pieces as they emerged. This record is a collection of some of these pieces.

13 years after Simon Jeffes' death, his son, Arthur, has started playing his music again. Under the name Penguin Cafe, Arthur - along with a new group of musicians - is re-visiting his father's music and starting a new chapter in the story of this unique and strange creative world. Their sound is at once familiar and new, combining acoustic power and a beguiling, feisty charm.
The Penguin Cafe’s first year, 2009, saw them playing the Acoustic stage at Glastonbury, the main stages at Big Chill and Bestival, and selling out the Snape Prom among many other adventures. In 2010 one major highlight was playing at the Albert Hall in their own BBC Late Night Prom.
Over these first two years Arthur has been writing new material to compliment and respond to the old. A love-letter to the original music, ‘A Matter Of Life...’ is the result of this endeavour and is one of the most startling, beautiful and extraordinary records of the year.
