COPE 10TH ANNIVERSARY 
LIVE AT THE EARL 
THE ALBUM AND THE FILM OUT NOW

As Mamma Freedom front man he is the centre piece of a master painters picture, surrounded by a cast of brothers and engulfed in a wall of colour and sound.
As a solo artist we finally get to hear his voice with stripped down songs in a more intimate direct setting.
This is a voice that isn't just soulful it's a voice full of true soul, true emotion, true feeling, but with the style and class of heroes past.

The songs on 'Knockturns' (a nod to a big influence in Chopin and his Nocturnes) are pure, crafted, thoughtful, insightful, witty and bare the scars, the highs, the lows, the stories, the twisted ironies, the triumph and range of life's emotions as his gravel driven velvet tinged tones scales effortlessly through the album.

To get a quote from J on himself or his own work is hard but in a way would seem to defeat the purpose of this album. The songs, the lyrics, the singer and the sound is enough. He wants you to take whatever your heart and head decide from the songs and that is enough for him.
