Common Sense Dancing: UK Lockdown

It's 24th March 2020, the UK has pretty much been placed in lockdown**.

My most recent album, Common Sense Dancing, was put live on Bandcamp last Friday, ahead of its 'proper' release on the 3rd April. Since the lockdown is due to be 3 weeks and Common Sense Dancing has 20 tracks, I thought I'd highlight a track a day and here and there talk about the story behind it, and hopefully by the end the world will be a better place. Because everyone did sensible things, of course, not because of the healing powers of art!

The tracks will be presented out of order, for no other reason than I can.

There will be a link to the track on Bandcamp, on which it is free to stream - there is no obligation to part with money to hear it. If you would like to play any of the tunes offline, or to see the full album artwork this will involve the movement of currency, but that is, of course, your choice!

Common Sense Dancing is built around themes of the Arts and Nostalgia, has history, humour, and reflection, and incorporates many styles of music. There should be something for all comers over the next three weeks.

So, I look forward to having you along on what might be, perhaps, Corona Sense Dancing, or may be Common Sense Distancing..
