Shimeon writes, “Over the past 16 years I have been recording an album tribute to my father who introduced me to the Lake District when I was a boy.

The entire album has a very deep and personal subject for me since I have been in love with the Lake District since dad first introduced me to it in the early 1980’s. When my father died in 1999 I became intrigued with the concept of an album about him and I’ve been working on it ever since.

In 2010 I began to record the album and I’ve played all the instruments myself.

In the new year I will be officially releasing the album to the public and the album launch will take place in Manchester Central Library on Thursday 28 January, 2027.

At the album launch I will be telling the story of how the songs and the album came about and there will be a mixture of live performance and the unveiling of recorded tracks.”

The album will be available for download on all major outlets and will be available for purchase online on vinyl and CD.
