Arnold is currently performing comedy, and preparing to record a follow up to the acclaimed album 'Unbolted' Reviews of Unbolted: 'excellent...Robyn Hitchcock meets Billy Bragg' Leicester Mercury ' A mix of post-Kinkesque lyricism and country feel, all the tracks are strong and improve with listening. The strongest tracks for me are Magic Gypsy and Nothing, both of which sound personal and bring out the best in Bolt's distinctive voice. Slap Me Down, the final track, has real energy and is a great ending song. If you like the Beatles, Kinks, or some new country stuff by the likes of Slaid Cleaves, then this is for you.'( rating 4/5)
