After years of struggling with depression, self-hatred, mental illness and addiction, the sun broke through into Anthony Hodgson's world and life has never been the same since. Years of scribbled songs, poetry and artwork conceived in pain were set free from dusty cupboards and drawers and transformed into treasures. Sometimes Cohen, or Crimson, with the Beatles, Lou Reed and his Northern folk roots thrown into the mix, it is a music conceived out of pain and abuse yet shines, redeemed. It is a music that sears yet soars, acknowledging its past whilst rejoicing in the present and hoping in the future.
