Listen to an exclusive preview of the new song “Alive”, recorded on the same piano and in the same room as where it was originally recorded at The Church Studios. Thanks to all at @ChurchStudios for allowing this to happen - it was great to be back making music there again.

Nightjar taking flight
The Life in Slow Motion recording sessions at the Church Studios 2003 - 2005, were a super intense and super creative period, and the final record of just 10 tracks was a scant representation of the forty plus songs that were recorded.

It provides a much fuller view of the tension, restless energy, and creative curiosity that powered these recording sessions. It never felt right leaving it all on the cutting room floor.

The Paintings of Rory McEwen (1932-1982)
All the wonder of the universe captured in a single leaf.
A fortnight ago I was lucky enough to catch the last few days of an exhibition of paintings by Scottish folksinger and artist Rory McEwen.

and the unorthodox use of vellum rather than paper, grants them a luminosity that they wouldn’t otherwise achieve.
Rory not only had the most extraordinary eye but also the courage to reduce things to their simplest and most elemental terms.

You’d be heard pressed to find a better proof of the less is more philosophy. A new star has been lit in my art firmament.
A big thank you to The Garden Museum for staging the exhibition and to Emma and Alisdair for recommending it. 🍂

I Don’t Care - Mary Margaret O’Hara
I absolutely fell in love with this song from the moment that I first heard it.

I always have this image of tendrils of feeling and sound reaching out and probing blindly into the darkness. In a way, that’s all that singing is. Another scintillating example of the space around the notes being as important as the notes themselves.

By the time the ironic restraint of the lyric dissolves into wordless yearning, I usually have the hairs standing up on the back of my neck and tears in my eyes. A perfect thing.
