Penny Black is the third release from Chequerboard, aka Dubliner John Lambert. It follows on from his debut album Gothica (Reverb) and 2005 EP Dictaphone Showreels (Lazybird). Chequerboard's profile has grown rapidly over the last year due to extensive touring as well as his work with Donal Dineen. Last year, John received a music fellowship from the Model Arts & Niland Gallery in Sligo where he spent a year working on the album. The cover and artwork are comprised of shots of actual pieces produced by John.
