Squall Critical - Out Now

I made my eighth album (Henry Found the Time) over an 18 month period and it was released in September 2024. Shortly after, as the house lay upturned (old cottages by the sea need looking after) and empty (everyone was away) I binned the house maintenance and sat at the kitchen table with my guitar, violin and laptop and wrote and recorded Squall Critical in a week. You see, I have had some heart issues. And so, as I was writing I felt in a very strong creative flow and I thought that I was definitely about to die and it was for this reason that the songs were coming so fast and with such honesty. I worked frantically to finish it before the end came. The last track I completed was the instrumental - 'Get Your Head Down' - I just picked up my violin and made him cry. I guess the lyrics to 'Someone' sum it up:

This morning when I made breakfast
I was afraid that I would die
Have you ever heard anything so reckless?
We’ve all been afraid sometimes

I'll be on tour in 2025 bringing these tunes to life.
