![]() ‘I recorded an a cappella version of this album in the early ’90s, which sold well, in a small way, as “healing songs”. The feedback was amazing, in terms of the effect it had on people, which made me realize that I could make it available to a wider audience if I had backing to the songs. This led to a unique collaboration, with Symbiosis known for their relaxing and meditative music and The Dufay Collective, one of the leading exponents of Early Music. The result of which confirmed my belief that these are truly “healing songs”. I hope you find it so.’ John |
![]() ‘It was the summer of ’95. I’d been visiting my mum in the north of England (back to my roots) and was driving home when it started. One song after another began to unfold in my head. I was used to inspiration though nothing like this so I grabbed my voice recorder and, a few moments later, was hurtling down the motorway, singing spontaneous rock n’ roll at the top of my voice. And it kept on coming: one song after another. Not complete, but enough the melody, a couple of verses, the feel of the song and on to the next and half an hour later I had the basis of this album... May it bring you joy.’ Available on |
