Pocket Buy the Frog Pocket EP here Read about the Frog Pocket EP here Frog Pocket aka John Charles Wilson hails from Ayr in the West of Scotland. He formed his own label, Mouthmoth, in 1999, around the same time as Benbecula's creation, and from that early stage the two labels have collaborated on various projects, with Frog Pocket invited to play as a guest at various Benbecula events. An EP from Frog Pocket was always a priority for Benbecula and in 2003 it finally came to fruition in the form of a CD and vinyl mini album entitled "Moon Mountain of the Fords". Frog Pocket is a regular on the live circuit and friendships with other labels ensures he always keeps himself busy. His manic, physical sets are a spectacle that can only impress. Incorporating backing beats, live fiddle, guitar and vocal, Frog Pocket has maintained his credibility both as a musician and contemporary electronic performer. His dedication to live performances and networking with other artists and labels has paid off in the form a friendship with Mike Paradinas at Planet Mu. In 2003 Planet Mu released a 7" single and in 2005 the label plans to release a full length album. To know the music is to the love the man and his quirky and somewhat misinterpreted demeanour only adds to his mystique. The fractured AFX-like beats alongside beautiful melodies and the energetic live act, sit at odds with a character so unassuming and modest. With the Planet Mu album "Gonglot", 2005 could be the year that Frog Pocket breaks. Benbecula are proud to have been a small part of his history. Watch this space for future releases on Benbecula.
