about

New album from my last gig in Birmingham, ahead of next weekend's solo gig in Birmingham!
Here's the two tracks from the solo set at the beautiful outdoor gig here in Birmingham a month or so ago. The experience of being there included the exquisite sound of birdsong filling the incredible surroundings, which as it wasn't captured on the recording I've added back in via field recordings. It adds a whole lot and makes sense of what we were listening to on the day.

Track 3 was recorded today - the first recorded outing for my brand new Elrick SLC Mk II headless bass - and is called Anniversary, a meditation on this the anniversary of me coming out of hospital last year after my first round of chemo. I was only in for 16 days but it felt like a lifetime.

Grateful for everything ♥️
