"This song is about heartbreak, how it runs like a river through the course of our lives."

Single title? River Of Hurt

What's the song about? This song is about heartbreak, how it runs like a river through the course of our lives.

How long did it take to write/record? I've had the verse from the song since 2009 and not found the right chorus to match until now.  Recording the album took two weeks pre-production, two weeks recording and three weeks mixing/mastering.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? This is the first single from my new album Hunted Haunted out on 3 Sep. Produced by Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, PJ Harvey) and Neil Baldock (Neil Finn).

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Originally I was in a pretty bad mood to write this song, it started as an angry rant and became inspired by songs like ELO's Don't Bring Me Down and Bryan Ferry's Let's Stick Together.

We'll like this song if we like… Queen, David Bowie, Bryan Ferry, ELO.

Do you play it differently live? Exactly the same as the album version. Although there is potential for a lead break.

When and where is your launch/next gig? Black Bear Lodge 14 Aug to celebrate the release of River Of Hurt. Supported by Greg Chiapello and Little Sleeper. Doors at 8pm.
