And also, it's very good.
Tom Kitching has created something truly worthwhile and relevant here. A view of this land from the same elevation as everyone else, rather than a snapshot from above. I read a few excerpts from his blog, which went on to form part of this project, including the chapter about my town. Despite me having lived here for a long while, he revealed the unspoken and cast a new light. Buy this book!The CD for Seasons of Change arrived today. I couldn’t have imagined how different things would feel today as recently as December when we recorded it. But here it is. I’m fiercely proud of it as an album just as I’m proud of the moment in time I tried to capture with the book. 18 months of busking England. Will that England return or be replaced with something else now?
I was going to officially release this at my launch gig on April 24th but it now seems virtually inconceivable that any gigs will be going ahead in that period so I’ll just start selling this formally now. All Kickstarter copies and PayPal preorders will be in the post tomorrow morning. Thank you for your support.
I’ll be going through the tour and seeing what’s what over the next few days, and will make an announcement when I’ve had time to talk to promoters about rescheduling.
If you’d like to order a copy of either or both of these, then please visit my shop.
