"From out of the dark"

From Out Of The Dark

From out of the dark is a collection of 6 songs finished during the infamous Covid lockdown of 2020, drawing musical influences from many different genres and based on different themes close to my heart.

Some with a narrative, others about how I felt a particular junction in life, playing music, writing and recording songs has been a great outlet for me and helped me deal with and express myself in a productive fashion.

With no single genre over the six songs I decided to put them out as From out of the dark, to show how something good can come from the darkness. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making them.

I appreciate so much all the friends and family who have helped critique these tracks ready for public consumption. Thanks also to my younger sister, Hannah, for providing her vocal talents and lyric writing on two of the songs.

#DearNHS by Adam Kay and various mini spoiler free book review

Dear NHS: 100 Stories to Say Thank You, Edited by Adam KayDear NHS: 100 Stories to Say Thank You, Edited by Adam Kay by Adam Kay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Genius idea from Adam Kay to gather a group of celebrities, including writers, actors, TV stars, singers, comedians, each with their own tale of their own experience of the NHS, fictional story, poem or song to show how important the NHS is to them.

Often sad, funny, heartwarming and humbling this excellent collection of varying styles is an excellent tribute to the work of the NHS during this pandemic.

My personal highlights - the story by irvine Welsh; Lee Mack and Stewart Lee's entries (am I allowed to like both of those?). Peter Kay's Car Share script was super. David Tennant, Mark Watson, Stephen Fry... there is just such a vast inclusion of varying talent to get through, each one different but each one relevant to the cause Adam Kay is so obviously passionate about.

With all profits going to support NHS charities together and The Lullaby Trust, why not support the NHS yourself in this hugely enjoyable and innovative way and get a copy of Dear NHS.
