about

A day I spent with my Dad when I was about 10 or 11. We bought a toy dinosaur and drove to Luton Airport to watch the planes.

lyrics

We watched those planes land,
And I held my new toy in my hands,
And back there the old car factory still stands.

In a company car we ride,
It’s got pink and green letters down its sides,
And with the windows down, all your paperwork, can fly

Never told you how
That day
Still means something, to me now

Well no boy could deny,
There’s nothing like your father by your side,
And a lot of times, you were working, but that day you were all mine

Never told you how,
That day
Still means something, to me now

And now that you are gone,
The love you showed me still carries on,
And I may not be the boy I was that day, but I’ll always be your son

Never told you how,
That day,
Still means something, to me now

I'm not sure where to begin. This is the second album I have bought from Katie. Hello Sun speaks to me because I also long for it to return to the blue skies and the warmth it brings in the spring and summer months. Honestly though, every track is special. It is not often I find myself so captivated by a musician these days, but Katie has truly done that for me. Heart warming beautiful music that should be heard by all who love acoustic guitar and vocals. Real and genuine. Mitch Wild

Lammas Fair
by Henry Parker

Psych-folk with a late 60s / early 70s flavour. If you like Nick Drake or Fairport Convention you will enjoy this. It's an observation of change and a celebration of a hazy, high summer harvest. The music transports you to the moorlands and mill towns of Northern England. Dark and open and embellished with beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics. This is album of the year 2021 for me. distant planet
