A Robin Hood Christmas is a modern London folk myth.

Told through wandering minstrel instruments — wooden flutes, small strings, footsteps and breath — and threaded with the low pulse of the city, the album reimagines the legend of Robin Hood in a winter London where Christmas doesn’t reach everywhere equally.

This is Robin of Epping Forest: moving on foot, off-grid, redistributing what’s pooled too high. Alongside him are Little John, who carries the weight; Maid Marian, who keeps the network alive; Friar Tuck, who offers warmth without judgement; and the Sheriff of Notting Hill, whose power is polite, procedural, and still.

Medieval folk textures blend with subtle modern sounds — jungle fragments, underground drones, glitch echoes — not as contrast, but as continuity. The forest is no longer a place. It’s a practice. It moves where people move.

There are no heroes here. No victories.
Just winter held together — this time.

THE SHERIFF OF NOTTING HILL

After the Promise is a quiet, acoustic indie folk album about what remains when love ends without drama.

These songs live in the aftermath. The mornings after the vows stopped echoing. The long drives, the empty rooms, the honest self-reckoning that follows a relationship that didn’t explode, but simply expired.

Stripped-down guitars, husky vocals, and minimal arrangements carry stories of commitment, endurance, memory, and acceptance. There’s no villain here. No rewritten past. Just truth, reflection, and the slow work of learning how to carry what was yours and set down what wasn’t.

This album isn’t about heartbreak as spectacle.
It’s about dignity, accountability, and moving forward without bitterness.

Headphones recommended. Late nights encouraged.

Thank you, Sweet Thang. I know this album has gained a lot of polarizing views since its release. Personally i think it's kind of sort of a masterpiece lol.
Enjoy. Stay Safe. Love Always,
