So how has your latest single gone so far with fans then, how has it been received?
Hi ‘By My Side’ has gone down pretty well. It was released on 4 June so still early days but as well as a lot of UK plays it’s been played on stations in Australia, US, and Europe. So I’m fairly chuffed at the moment.
Tell us something about the release no one knows?
There’s not really any surprises here – it’s my 8th song working with Ville and Mat at Animal Farm studios and the lyrics are by a guy I met at youth club a fair few years ago called Stephen Cree. We’ve been writing a lot of songs together recently.
If you could work with any artist on a new song, who would it be and why?
I think I’d like to do a collaboration with French artist Madeon. He’s done some songs on his album ‘Adventure’ that I really connect with. It’d be great to do a song with him.
Can you tell us about the meaning behind the track?
In essence the song is about rebuilding trust in a relationship after one of the people involved strays into the arms of another. Regret grows and there’s a realisation that the new relationship isn’t nearly as deep, loving and rich as the one that was left and so, it inevitably fails. It’s so hard for the person who was abandoned to deal with the (known and imagined) stuff that went on within the new relationship
What tours do you have coming up, and what can you tell us about them?
Not so much tours yet but a fair few gigs cropping up on the calendar now I’m glad to say. Doing some residency gigs at a bistro (Fashion House Bistro) in my home town which I’m really enjoying.
What venue are you most looking forward to playing the most, and why?
Looking forward to a Blues Bar gig coming up in August – it’s a great place to play and I’m gonna be joined by 2 friends on lead guitar (Jack Allen) and bass (Jamie Hetherington)
What else can we expect from you in 2021?
Really looking forward to more recording – I’m in the studio in July and then more and more gigs I hope!!
