Clive on the album: Between fundraising, crafting the songs for the album, recording and production, including long delays due to tragedies which happened within the lives of some of those involved in the album, this has been a four year journey.... perhaps it actually has been a lifetime in the making.
The album is available on CD Baby, iTunes and several other online music outlets.

During this ninth season of TalentCast quite a few interesting albums have been released by our musicians and bands. From a selection of these albums we will play one song each. Apart from these, we will also play one newcomer who joined TalentCast last week and I will of course play our new Song of the Week winner.
This week there is no voting, but if there is a song you like to most, we advise you to check out the album instead of voting for the song. You will find the artist easy by following the artist link on our current playlist on our website.
The first song is by a singer-songwriter from York, the UK.
On September 2 we will be back with the first programme of our tenth season. We won't only relax during our summer break, we will also use the extra time for updating our website.
We wish you a nice, relaxed and sunny summer.
