Awesome to play again with sounding MEGA tonight Carnaby 🤗 Thanks to a lovely crowd! Can’t wait for Bootleg Trio with Chris this Wed… 👆🏻🎟️

I love this image. It’s the original moonshot of the jigsaw sequence I posted earlier. Still don’t know if it’s waxing or waning… my mind wanders off every time. This beauty was captured by Martin Brook 📸 🙏🏻

I find the moon increasingly reassuring these days. It’s always there. It changes slow and steady, hides and comes out to play. I notice it most when I’m calm and alone. It’s an old friend. Far away, but even the sea follows it around. This single release was written through various encounters over several years. A penny in the ocean, but hopefully a pleasant little splash 💦 Here are some of my attempts to capture the super full blue moon which has been visible the last couple of nights. Hope you enjoy the song which is out today!Happy moon gazing everyone 😊

I know that your darkness
Will wash over me
So farewell and thank you
For the company

‘Goodnight Moonlight’
Final track of Bootleg Trio album is OUT tomorrow… ➡️ 🎧👆🏻

📷 Moonshot: Martin Brook 🙏🏻

Well I’ll stay for another
If you'll twist my arm

🌙

1.9.23

Goodnight moonlight
You smooth old charm

🌝

1.9.23

Your face full of angels
With that snow white smile
Ready to kiss me
If I’m gone for a while

🌝

1.9.23

I’d love to stay
But you’ll still be shining
When I’m old and grey

🌙 ✨

1.9.23

Goodnight moonlight

🌙

1.9.23

Our pockets full of whiskey
And our hearts in our hands

🌚

With some more old friends
We'll paint shadow pictures
Write our names in the sand

✨ 🌚

Goodnight moonlight
I'll see you again
Under some old starry sky

🌚 ✨
