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.
