How the sensual optimism yet deep melancholy of Spring has inspired many of my songs

'Starlings & Crows' is so much about creating a sense of place that I knew I had to create illustrations for the album too

This song is inspired by an imaginary city, locked down and silently holding its inhabitants. Written for new Help Musicians Charity album

This song is the original version of another of mine released on my previous 'Blood-Red Spark' album - they share the same inspiration

'They're calling me home, the starlings and crows' How the poet John Clare and starlings and crows inspired the title song of my new album

I'm so pleased to be finally releasing this album. It does feel quite strange to be releasing it right now in these times.
