This recording came about by being involved with a project undertaken by the wonderful Johnny Parry and his Chamber Orchestra. In a project of epic scope involving many, many snippets of lyrics on a range of themes submitted by the public of Bedford and a big-hearted community choir, a whole load of beautifully composed movements were created culminating in a spectacular live performance and subsequent studio recording of 'An Anthology of All Things'.
As one of the singer-songwriters in the choir I was asked to contribute a line of one of my songs containing a name, to be part of the 'Songwriters' piece, and to then perform that song at the concert.
This then resulted in a very limited bonus compilation album being issued in conjunction with the CD recording of the choir, containing all the songs performed that night, and this is the result. 
The compilation may or may not be widely available soon.

Simple, right? Either way, I'm happy!

Speakers or headphones only please =)

That'll be all now.

Sunsinger & the High Seas is Bedfordshire-based songwriter Simon Gutteridge and his merry band. Whether performing solo, as a duo, or with full line up, expect alt-country, folk and Americana-tinged songs with a hint of pop, and tunes packed full of catchy melodies and soaring choruses. All sung and played with a whole lot of heart.

Building on two solo (unofficial) appearances at Black Deer festival 2023, recently opening for Willy Mason and The Hanging Stars, the influential Americana UK website hosting a live video, and a recent well received Christmas single in December, 2024 is shaping up to be a positive year.

Notable support slots include:

Willy Mason, The Hanging Stars, Ian McCulloch (Echo & the Bunnymen) Ben Ottewell (Gomez) Tom Grennan, China Crisis, Big Country (more than once), the South (Ex Beautiful South members) the Wedding Present, Tom Hingley & Mark Chadwick (The Levellers) among others.
