WHO ARE ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION?


We are a group of musicians who first played together in 1980 and, after a gap of 35 years, reformed in 2019. Back then, we played University gigs & released 3 self-produced albums of original music before disbanding to have “real lives”! Personnel are David Reid [Guitar, Keyboards]; Janette Kidd [Bass, Vocals, Keyboards] and Brian Kidd [Guitar, Guitar Synthesizer, Percussion, Drumbox Programming and Trumpet/Flugelhorn].
That album, 'The Three Body Problem', was released on 21/06/21 with encouragingly positive feedback.


Working on 'The Three Body Problem' was such an exciting and enjoyable project, it seemed inevitable that more would follow. After a short break we committed ourselves to another album. We deliberately adopted a different approach with the intention of creating a collection of pieces that are recognisable as us, but are also different from the previous project. This latest one is called 'Afterword', and can be downloaded from Bandcamp.
