Album Description

"Still Locked Down for the Count" is the second volume of our Lockdown EP - recorded entirely in isolation during the second and third COVID lockdowns.
For this volume of our Lockdown EP, we wanted to bring you a collection of positive songs with a hopeful message. It’s a joy to be collaborating again with City String Ensemble and it’s an absolute delight to work for the first time with the marvellous Town Hall Gospel Choir from Birmingham. We’ve never met them in person but we hope that this virtual partnership will be the start of some great things to come!
We hope this EP helps you stay positive - and we look forward to performing for you live again soon.
Our chosen charity: Refuge
Profits from the sale of this EP will be split between the musicians who took part and our chosen charity, Refuge. This amazing charity helps women and children who have suffered violence and abuse to rebuild their lives. Find out more about their work at www.refuge.org.uk
