A chat with John Graham Leslie about his new album
The Land The River the Sea

Where does the title 'The Land The River The Sea' come from?

"Growing up on a farm in Northern Ireland, I suppose I was always close to the land, never far from a river and permanently surrounded by sea! I worked in the landscape and it worked its way into me."

How is that reflected in the album?

 

"The album is peppered with references to nature. Song for Charlotte written for my then 6 year old neice is about an imagined walk in the early morning listening and watching the rural world wake up.

Although it is largely land based the sea also makes several entries ! The ebb and flow soothes the soul. The album has an overall rhythm which comes from the pulse of the land, the flow of the rivers and  the sea. I would describe it as a Ruralist record, I am a rock/acoustic/folk ruralist!"
What happens next?

"The Album and EP are on sale now. I've gathered together a bunch of wonderful musicians to play acoustic versions of the songs and we are out there playing them!  I intend to concentrate very hard on playing live through the winter. And I have been and will be recording new songs over the next few months. Everything has stepped up another gear and is very exciting."
