An authentic and original sound...a great prospect! - David The Kid Jensen (Radio 1, TOTP)

‘I Won’t Hide Anymore’

The chorus line of new single Mother Nature, is a mantra for building a better future, but also a reflection of where Will has come from with his music.

Spending years as a frustrated songwriter, recording songs on his 8 Track into the early hours, Will was persuaded into the studio, and it changed his life.

Sitting somewhere between Alt Rock, Country and Indie Folk and inspired by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Leonard Cohen, and REM, his songs are often based around the eternal battle between the darkness and the light.

Since being asked to stay indoors, Will has hunkered down with the guitars, trying to process it all. The songs all sit around a similar theme, the pain of losing connection and the hope that change is going to come.

He has just finished recording a live session for Whispering Bob Harris (Radio 2), and will launch the EP at The Half Moon Putney on Wednesday Sep 15th.

Will has previously toured with Echo & The Bunnymen, performed at Celtic Connections and London Blues Festival, and has been featured on BBC Radio and ITV. He is currently endorsed by Epiphone / Gibson and Uniform Wares.
