ORGANISATION RECORD
Canonical standing: Recorded
Whapperton’s most discussed band, in either grammatical order.
Register summary
An enduring musical partnership associated with Jedson and Leather. The archive records albums, disputed sleeve notes and a durable local rule: reversing the name in the wrong bar may cause a silence of unusual intensity. The newly catalogued Air Lizard includes a guest vocal by Sue / Su Leather. Whether the act is ‘Leather Jedson’ or ‘Jedson Leather’ remains deliberately unresolved.
Newly catalogued exhibits
The archive now holds original sleeve art, two sample performances and recorded tracks including Zip Wire, Moccasin High and Air Lizard, with a guest vocal by Sue / Su Leather. Oli's released Jed Jedson back story is now cross-filed with the band, alongside Garvage's unfinished Thanet material.
Archive exhibit JL-01
A double A-side sleeve featuring fish, bass guitars, a submerged cross and a guest rhythm-guitar credit for Able Mayhew. The town will not be making this any clearer.
Recorded artwork
Tour notice
A 2026 Christmas tour has been advertised. The surviving poster identifies Mbotwae as a guest cellist, which supports the archive's existing cello association without settling the spelling.
Merchandise evidence
An embroidered tour patch further connects the double A-side to the Salted Sea Fish campaign.
Sample performances
These clips are retained as source exhibits. ZipWire is presented here as an early demo performance, including the cropped loop in the background; the separate audio recordings are available below.
