Forward by Chris Titley:
Brother Andrews wake could not have happened without live music.
We reconnected and played. There are no words to describe that day and that performance.
Following on from August and the overwhelming response we received from playing those songs, we have recorded them. They are incredible… and beautiful.

We hope to raise as much money as possible for St David’s hospice through the sale of CD’s and digital downloads of the songs.
St David’s Hospice gave so much support to Andrew & Karen, including organising a last minute but absolutely beautiful wedding for them, just under a week before his passing.
There are a limited number of CD’s available, which feature artwork painted by Andrew in his final weeks at St David’s Hospice. Alternatively you can choose a digital download of the songs. We would suggest a minimum donation of £10 per CD/download, but if you are able to donate more it would be greatly appreciated.
The EP consists of four original songs. 3 from the early 00’s that focus on being young, navigating through love, friendships, and life within the Black Country. Another track was written this year, and was shaped by conversations between Andrew and Bowater.
