Since the Bully Wee Band reformed in 2004 they have, not surprisingly, added
to their extensive 45 year repertoire, and this album is the result.
It is the first time they have been in the studio as one unit in 35 years and
the finished tracks demonstrate how they and their sound have matured over the
years.

This latest album from Colin was recorded chiefly during the Covid Lockdown
months of March 2020 and May 2021 and hopefully displays that some good can
come out of the frustrations of being unable to take part in live
performance.
As usual the album features some guest musicians in the shapes of Peter Knaggs
on Electric Guitars and Bass, Steve Shorey
on Electric Guitars and Ukulele, Paul Matthews on Acoustic & Electric Pianos
and Hammond Organ,
Ian Cutler on Bridge Aquila Electric Violin with Jim
Yardley on Mandolin (almost the Bully Wee Band), Deborah
Neal on Accordion and Nina Knaggs on Lead and Backing Vocals.
The miracle of the Internet enabled us all to play together whilst keeping
our social distances - except for me and Debs of course.

originally recorded on their Face To Face album.

The latest
album from Colin is another selection of songs carefully selected
from his past and more recent repertoire.
They include covers of songs as far ranging as those from Sydney
Carter, Arthur Alexander, Paul Rodgers and Tim Hardin. Also included
is a new song from Colin's dear friend John Cunningham and the
traditional Irish ballad Carrickfergus.
The album title track Way Below The Tide is a re-recording of
Colin's self-penned song concerning the Scottish Great Silkie legend that,
at certain times, seals may come ashore, remove their coats and take
human form. Originally recorded by the Bully Wee Band on the Madmen
of Gotham album, Colin felt it was time to reintroduce the song to
the world and thus its inclusion on the album.
The album features some guest musicians in the shapes of Peter
Knaggs and Steve Shorey on guitars, Marc Woodward on mandolin, John
Cunningham on backing vocals and Colin's life partner Deborah Neal
on accordion.

describe as 'a mixed bag consisting of past, present and personal
favourites'.

It seems that most performers reach a stage
in their life when they get the urge to revisit and acknowledge their roots.
These are some of the songs Colin sang or heard other people sing, but never got
the chance to record, way back when he first realised
there was more to music than the Beatles.

This was
Colin's first album of totally original material for nearly sixteen years and to a large extent
saw a return to his
love of storytelling within song.
All the songs on the album are
self penned with the exception of 'Hold Me In Your Arms' which was
written by two friends Karen Taylor and Tony Walker.
