About this item

Jointly inspired by a 1985 candlelit vigil in London and by Derek Jarman hearing names whispered in the Dungeness waves, "Every Flame a Sunset" is a memorial to a lost generation and a reminder of the pain and loss suffered by both those who survived and those who did not. The themes and reflections of the 2022 BBC documentary "AIDS: The Unheard Tapes" provide further inspiration for this song about the devastating epidemic.
