'Song Of The Year' Nomination!

First of all, I hope that everyone had a pleasant festive break and that this New Year is a good deal kinder to us all than the last. I trust it's started well for you and that it continues in similar fashion. I know it will have its challenges for us all, but may we come through stronger and - if our own sensibilities and the gods allow - more together than we've been able to be of late.

I can't lie, things began here in some style when I learned just yesterday that 'The Baptist's Father' has been shortlisted for the FATEA Magazine Song Of The Year. Recorded at home in October, you can read more about the track from the blog I posted at the time here which also includes links to the accompanying video as well as the downloadable version.

This really is such a wonderful and overwhelming surprise, especially as the two tracks it's nominated alongside are from Charm of Finches & Edgelarks and my good and talented friend, Luke Jackson. I'm extremely grateful to FATEA for this nomination and wish everyone in every category the very best of luck. (See all the nominees in the various categories here.)

The special award show is presented by Neil King and goes out live at 8pm (UK) on 15th January via the fantastic Blues & Roots Radio... please do listen in here if you can.

May we be able to gather together once more soon, but in the mean time, please do take care out there, folks.

Much love and many blessings,

Steve xx
