Marble City Skyline

This is a new album of songs written and recorded in Knoxville Tennessee, which also features songs composed back home in England with good friend Phil Baggaley. They were all completed and mixed within sight of the famous Great Smoky Mountains. The initial tracking was completed at Scott Minor’s Wild Chorus studio on 5th Avenue, prior to the additional recording sessions and overdubs. For those who are wondering about the album title, Knoxville is often referred to as the Marble City because of the old marble mining industry. Marble from Knoxville has been used in the construction of many United States landmarks, including Grand Central Station New York.

Grand Central Station New York

On my first trip to New York I got lost downtown and found myself at Grand Central Station. Some of the encounters I had and scenes I observed set me thinking about the stories behind the circumstances. Several years later when writing new songs with Phil Baggaley, in a moment of synchronicity he suggested writing a song with this title. I have always wanted to record it, as it is a firm favourite in my concert set.

Shipwrecks and Islands: Phil Baggaley

During an interview, Adrian Plass summed up the vision behind this recording; "We live in a broken and despairing world, and many of us understandably settle for the safety and familiarity of an established lifestyle. We often close our eyes and ears to devastation in the lives of people around us, be they family, friends, or neighbours". The purpose of Shipwrecks & Islands is not just to provide food for thought, but to offer comfort to those who are experiencing times of trial.

I Am The Great Sun: Joanne Hogg

This ancient liturgical poem can be found in St. David's Cathedral Wales, and no one knows the source of the original text.


'Our Lord The Sun' was used in prayer by the early Christian Church up to and including the fifth and sixth centuries, and embodied in the Liturgy until altered to 'Our Lord The God'.


It has also been found on a Norman crucifix of 1632, and an adaptation of the text has been included in an anthology of verse by the English poet Charles Causley. The musical setting was composed by David Clifton after hearing it read during an Oxfordshire Easter Vigil service.
