Dedicated to James Robert Duff (1927 - 2020)

Big Harcar

Into The Deep

Blue Murder

The Silent Spring

Into The Deep (Lanterns Radio Edit)

It’s all about perspective really, what we deem to be of great (or little) significance, where we as individuals fit in, how and where some arguably find the answers to life’s questions, or at least where they find comfort in the midst of great uncertainty, and how that can vary dramatically from being to being. It was partly inspired by a childhood memory of staring at the night sky for a period of time and suddenly feeling extremely overwhelmed and frightened at the enormity of it all. It was a realisation that there are far greater things out there, bigger than I could comprehend. Moments like that make you realise how insignificant you are, and yet how fragile and precious life is. 


Recorded with Alex Blamire at Polestar Studios, Byker.
Mixed by Paul Gregory.

The Eighth Day

City In The Sand

Blue Murder (Radio Edit)

Emmanuel Head

The Minute Hand comes from the personal and contemplative standpoint of Aaron Duff (aka Hector Gannet) regarding the concept of time and his personal need to “leave a mark in the sand” - “It’s how we are driven to create, from the corridors of power to the shopping aisles, …it’s the paths we take, or the trails we leave behind.”
