Where Do You Come From?

Description

CD plus a beautifully illustrated 64-page book, telling the tale of Glen's life, with extended stories relating to each of the albums songs. This album is Glen Peter's story. He was born in India in 1950 and his family arrived in the UK the same week as Enoch Powell made his infamous "Rivers of blood" speech. His journeys have been long and inspiring. His lifelong love of British folk music for example. From founding folk clubs in 70's London to building a beautiful venue in his beloved Pembrokeshire. Each song on this second album of his speaks of his life experiences or take on related historical events. Corner shops, World War spies, being 16 in Soho etc. And what home means to him. Produced by Boo Hewerdine and featuring a stellar cast of musicians (Kris Drever, Yvonne Lyon, Euan Burton, Gustaf Ljunngren among others) this is an album of hope and experience in these troubling times. "What a total privilege it was to work with Glen on this album. It's his story; he has the ability to tell it with both tenderness and playfulness, but then gravitas and joyful optimism. His melodies are instantly memorable, each song an earworm, both musically and thematically. I hope you love it as much as I did producing it. Every life is full of songs as Glen demonstrates so deftly here." - Boo Hewerdine
