6 years ago today the war in Syria began.

Thanks to a mail out from UNHCR I now know the war in Syria began, six years ago today. There is lots we can do to help bring some relief to those suffering the affects of the ongoing.

One way is by buying this lovely Album from Brain Fog records:

War is such a heavy word. I find it hard to feel it’s true weight in this comfortable and fortunate existence. Hopefully this small post brings a sliver of silver to the cloud that so many are under.

Mixing in Berlin…

The ears will be working hard over the next few weeks as I return to Berlin to work on the new album mixes with Axel Reinemer at Jazzanova Studio.

I’ve decided to release the new record early 2018. Patience.

The wonderful band: Max Andrzejewski – Drums, Paul Santner – Guitar, Declan Forde – Piano, James Banner – Double Bass

Last night’s gig at The Mackintosh Church

Last night’s gig at The Mackintosh Church felt very good. A good delivery and a beautiful reception, in my eyes. Thanks to all who filled the seats with face and form, who filled the air with clapping hands, stomping feet and the sweetness of silence.

 

 

Thank you to my beautiful band: Jennifer Austin, Louis Abbott, Leo Forde & Joe Rattray.
Thanks Celtic Connections

Tonight at 10pm you will be able to watch the Opening Concert from last week on BBC 2 featuring a song shared between Adam Holmes And The Embers & I as well as many more musical treats.
