About

I'm Wayne Myers, a singer-songwriter from London. I've been recording and performing bluesy folk-rock under the name Fit and the Conniptions since December 2005.

Sweet Sister Starlight, my second studio album, was released online on 21st March 2011, and is now also available on CD while stocks last. The first album, Bless Your Heart, was released in July 2007.

All releases are available to download from Bandcamp - you can pay what you think they're worth (or can afford). You can also order CDs (via the US) from CDBaby.

Podcasts/Radio

In May 2011 I was interviewed at some length by Dan Lynch on Rathole Radio.

Also, music by Fit and the Conniptions has been played on BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio New Zealand National, and Kanal Ratte FM in Germany, on podcasts such as sP's Sentric Music Podcast, Erk FM, The Justin Wayne Show, Is This Thing On and Rathole Radio, and on internet radio stations including totallyradio.com. A couple of tunes from Bless Your Heart were included on DJ Kotau's Linux Audio Best Of 2008 mix, available here.

If you have played Fit and the Conniptions on the radio or on a podcast, included it in a real or virtual mixtape, or written a review, good or bad, please let me know and I will add it to this page.

Presskit

There's now a presskit, if you're into that kind of thing, though once there wasn't.

It has been updated, but will soon need updating again.
