Aye aye folks, the end of the year usually signifies a plethora of best of lists, and it’s always great to make any of them tbh!
However…massive thanks to Michael Park of The International Americana Music Show for selecting my 2014 song ‘The Never Ending Pageant’ as part of their best of the last decade!
Brilliant honour and truly appreciated!! Always felt that tune was a little under appreciated!!
