about

On Monday 19 Dec myself and Garry Boyle rehearsed, recorded, filmed, mixed, mastered and released a song in one day. We enlisted the help of some of the best string players around and produced a truly magical version of an old Katet song, Balloon.

We're asking that, in exchange for the free download of this track at the end of the day, fans donate what they can to Edinburgh Homeless Charity, Streetwork. Streetwork have a very 'hands on' way of providing support and relief to those living on the streets. We ask you to be generous at this time of year. It's Christmas, and it's getting colder.

Many thanks in advance for your support.
