'I wrote the songs that comprise ‘Regency Cafe’ largely between the late summer of 2014, and the autumn of 2015. It was a period that saw a sizeable shift in circumstance, submitting to settling down after years of far flung questing and dead ends. Whilst on marathon walks across my then home town of London, I would on occasion take a break from the melodies and words in my head and visit a bustling in the morning, derelict by afternoon spot in Pimlico called The Regency Cafe. It was here that this record seemed to live. With one exception, these are simply a collection of love songs that I took off the shelf between Christmas and New Year last December. Some blueish country and folk, an occasional nod to Sun era rock & roll. Primitively recorded at home with one microphone in a single take capturing voice and guitar; I added a few fuzzy headed embellishments the morning following a merry evening in Liverpool, before scrawling out the front cover sometime soon after. Nothing was overthought with this record, other than maybe for it be heard late at night, or before a new day strikes up in full voice.'
