Winterthur last weekend
Just back home after a lovely couple of days playing and travelling through some beautiful countryside in Austria and Switzerland. I’ll share some recordings from the last few days on my Patreon this week.
Hannover, last September
Finally got to see some of the photographs made at this little show in September last year. Strange then and now to have so many people inside together and I able to play songs to them.
Relics (I)
Lyrics for ‘We Could Have, We Should Have, We Didn’t’ carried about in my guitar case at every concert in case I forget the words whilst playing.
First in a series, more on my Patreon.
Potraits by Anke
Just two portraits by my dear friend Anke, from her house in Dresden earlier this year.
Claude Hurni
A couple of portraits by Claude Hurni taken in the grounds of the beautiful Löwendenkmal in Luzern earlier this year. Claude has a website here and his Instagram here.
These were posted to my Instagram here, where there’s quite a bit more of this sort of thing.
Baach
Photos by @mart.schneider from a couple of weeks ago in the countryside around Baach, Germany where I’ve been recording recently.
Photos and two songs from Werkstatt in Baden, Switzerland (free download)
Mike at selstam.ch sent me the photos he made from the concert at Werkstatt in Baden a week ago so I wanted to share them with you along with a few more songs from the night.
This was the last night of a two week tour I made in April and the only night where Sophia was able to join me with her violin. We didn’t get a chance to rehearse, instead just working out some basic arrangements in the other room right before we started. This level of preparation is fine for me but it does mean that the pair of us are kind of winging it on the songs we choose to do together. Keeps it interesting and wonderful for me to have some rare support (and surprises) whilst playing.
Anyway, these two I rarely play without Sophia so I thought they would be good to upload and share. Sophia wrote the original string parts for ‘If You Build It They Will Come’ when we made the ‘Turn Your Back On The Crown’ album together, but the music for ‘I Was In The North Before The Fall’ (from ‘The Good Men’) is new. We jump in and hang on, it is what it is.
I recorded almost every concert last month and plan to release an EP of things played in a week or so. Will be back with news on that if I can manage to make something listenable. Otherwise I’m finishing new songs and plan to record those as soon as the weather allows. I’ve my eye on a hut on a hill in which to record but I’m fearful of the cold there within. It was summer for a week but now it’s autumn in the south of Germany.
More soon then!
