Recordings
In January 2005 she released a demo MP3 single for free download of two tracks. "LJaded" - described by The Guardian as "a tribute to the Myspace and blogging generation" and another demo track, "London". It was accompanied by the following instructions:
"Download the MP3s, burn a CD, download the artwork, print it out, stick it in a jewel case and hey presto! A Penny Broadhurst single."
Her first EP, Allons-y!, which featured more demo tracks, was released on Killer Disc Records on 24 September 2007. in a limited edition run of CDs, which were numbered and signed. This included a different mix of "London" from the mix on the free single, which is now no longer available for download. The title is the French for "Let's go!", which reflects the tone of the EP and is also a common utterance by the Tenth Doctor as played by David Tennant in Doctor Who.
Her most recent EP, 'Sparkle The Dark', included a mixture of both solo and band tracks (as Penny Broadhurst & The Maffickers) and an accompanying booklet of short stories based on the lyrics to "The End" by several writers: Broadhurst herself, Danny Broderick, Robert Shearman, Danny Broderick, Benjamin Adams and Swithun Cooper.
Both EPs sold out.
