Touring UK Europe Nov 3rd to Nov 30. All 6 tracks will be live on Nov 3rd Life comes at you real fast these days. Whats a singersongwriter to do when events keep challenging the way that we see the world? Before weve had a chance to digest one startling development, along comes another to throw us off balance again. Ive been grubbing up songs for the past 12 months, but without the space to get an album together due to other projects, so Ive decided to start dropping tracks, one a month between now and the end of the year. As always, theyre my way of trying to make some sense of whats going on. The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters is the name of an etching created in 1799 by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya. The title struck a chord with me when trying to understand the events of last year. The lies and hubris of the Leave campaign in our EU referendum was echoed and amplified by Donald Trumps presidential campaign. Only by restoring empathy and reason can we hope to defeat the monstrous forces of nationalism and untruth.
