Regency Cafe

"I wrote the songs that comprise Regency Cafe largely between the late summer of 2014, and the Autumn of 2015. It was a period that saw a sizeable shift in circumstance, submitting to settling down after years of far flung questing and dead ends. Whilst on marathon walks across my then home town of London, I would on occasion take a break from the melodies and words in my head and visit a bustling in the morning, derelict by afternoon spot in Pimlico called The Regency Cafe. It was here that this record seemed to live. With one exception, these are simply a collection of love songs that I took off the shelf between Christmas & New Year of December 2022. Some blueish country and folk, an occasional nod to Sun era rock & roll. Primitively recorded at home with one microphone in a single take capturing voice and guitar; I added a few fuzzy headed embellishments the morning following a merry evening in Liverpool, before scrawling out the front cover sometime soon after.Nothing was overthought with this record, other than maybe for it be heard late at night, or before a new day strikes up in full voice. I hope you enjoy it, wherever you decide to listen to it."
