Debut solo album from Greg Russell - released on 21 July 2017 but available for pre order now. Signed copies available.
As part of the duo of Greg Russell & Ciaran Algar Greg has made three albums and won two BBC awards. Here he branches out on his own with a wide ranging programme of his own songs, traditional songs and songs by writers as diverse as Si Kahn and Mick Ryan.Most of the songs have a political bias. Greg has decided to keep it simple and straightforward with his powerful singing style and accomplished guitar accompaniment doing the work, but he has enlisted a little help from bass player Tim Yates - Nancy Kerr's Sweet Visitor Band and Blackbeard's Tea Party - and box player Archie Churchill-Moss - Moore. Moss & Rutter. Greg recently created the 'Shake The Chains' series of concerts and toured with 'The Transports' shows.
This is a very strong album from a confident performer.
