With 25 days until the brand new Christmas E.P comes out on Friday 6th December, I would love to share the great, great Elly Lucas Photography’s triumphant cover art design. 

How wonderful is this, right?

Depicting Manhattan Island’s iconic Cathedral of St John the Divine in all the wonder of its gothic architecture & radiant stained glass, it beautifully ties together some of the ideas in these new songs. 

News on how to own your CD copy of this beautiful art is coming very, very soon.

🌲 NEW MUSIC 🌲

Today is a very special day!!! I’m over the moon to share with you my first new music in over 2 years.

I give you the first single from my new E.P

‘Snowfall, My Evergreen’

A small number of you will have seen this performed in its rawest acoustic form. I’m excited to see what you think of the final studio version.

The story of this snowman offers a bittersweet allegory for the ambiguities of human relationships, in which we may bring out both the very best and the very worst in one another, in cycles that follow the path of the seasons. Because we are fluid, we are changeable, we are beautifully imperfect and distinctly human right?

Heraklion – Live at Get Real Audio

The 2nd single from my live E.P is out now on all your favourite streaming platforms.

It is a song about presentness; calming the mind and grounding ourselves in the real!

It’s set on the island of Crete, and named after the glorious 14th Century Venetian port town. For me it conjures images of trekking the Samaria Gorge in 30 degree heat, and standing in the neotithic caves carved into the cliff face, overlooking the picturesque fishing village of Matala, with the sun shimmering on the sea. 

It speaks of the places we encounter that are so raw in their beauty, that for some blissful moments of calm, they free us from our whirring patterns of unconscious thought. Here we become grounded in the awareness that we are a living, breathing creature; a small, but important part of something much bigger than ourselves. 

Do you know the kind of places I mean?

On the album we went with a Balearic chill-out feel for this track, so I’m really pleased to share this stripped back acoustic version, giving a window into how the song appeared when it was first written.

The Centre Cannot Hold

(Live at Get Real Audio)

Friends, I’m very happy to share with you my latest single, which landed on streaming and digital download platforms today.

It’s a live re-imagining of a track from my 2022 album ‘Broadcast The Secret Verse’, giving a window into the ambient, ethereal solo live sound I’m taking on tour over 8 more dates this Spring. 

The song draws on moments from the narrative account of a man fleeing the chaos of Eastern Aleppo, Dec 2016, during the Syrian Civil War. The articulate words he shared with a reporter blew open this tragic conflict for me in vivid, unsettling technicolour. 

The reporting of conflict in our 24 hour media focusses so often on broader, overarching themes and events. I believe it is so important we stay connected to human stories and experiences, so we do not risk losing sight of the strong sense of empathy and understanding, which I believe is engrained in all of us.

As such this song goes out to people all over the world who are victims of displacement, and 50% of all digital download proceeds will go straight to the charity ‘RefugePoint’, who work with refugees to build stable, connected, and thriving lives.

Hit the link below to hear it on Spotify for the first time!
