All For This Town

Been Here Before

Covid inspired England Football anthem also praising the NHS (all in white heroes). Haunting melody and suitable for the terraces. Call for the heroes, bringing the cup to us, all in white heroes, now we clap, make a fuss. We hold you in our arms, you made us so proud to be, part of the big crowd, part of the running free. Part of the victory, all our community. Unity. 

Tap at the Window
My little window says it's all much the same
People are walking, I think that I know their names
Tap at the window, checking we're all still here
How long can this go, keeping us holding fear?

And you lost all the time, that someone said you saved up fine
And told you you could spend it how you wanted, when
you wanted, where you wanted.

Call for the heroes, bringing the cup to us
All in white heroes, now we clap, make a fuss.

But you can't go out tonight, but you bent double tonight
Up into the velvet sky, up until you passed us by. 

We hold you in our arms, you made us so proud to be
Part of the big crowd, part of the running free, 
Part of the victory, all the community, all our community.

Undertow

Huddle

My long overdue airing of crucial personal and political songs written since the formative years with Stitched-Back Foot Airman and even earlier Greeting Number 4.

Reflections on life, relationships, joys and trials, and the enduring challenges of being human in a world of corrosive politics

At turns, uplifting and melodic, soulful and melancholic. Crafted in Sheffield, some sung on the street.

A selections of songs from the ‘Faces’, ‘Songs of love and loss’, and ‘Phoenix’ EPs, with plenty more to come!
