My sixth album The Hills of Arran is now available. People who have already had a chance to listen have said ‘the new album is superb’, ‘beautiful and impressively varied in genre and production style’, ‘the more I hear the songs the more enjoyable they are’ and ‘hauntingly beautiful’. A critic from Rock Society has said:
‘The evocative and delicate acoustic performances are a delightful and blessed relief from the current trend for over-produced, overloaded layers of music. A breath of fresh, mellow and unpretentious folk air.’
Cambridge News ran a feature about one of the songs, White crosses. We launched the album at CB2 in Cambridge on Saturday December 5th.
