Mendicity is full of depth and creativity, and is arguably Slide's finest work to date. Every track adds a newly discovered colour to a meticulously selected palette. Featuring the silken vocals of Dave Curley and includes the hit song 'The Bird', penned by Irishman Martin Denning.

With tunes from the Fleischmann collection appearing on an audio recording for the first time in carefully crafted instrumental numbers, the band introduces fresh sounds with exquisite accompanying soundscapes.
