Whispers & Notes by Social Simon

At the start of lockdown I was in the middle of writing and recording a new Hope & Social album and also attempting to finish my first solo record after 2 years of putting it off. Both things were put on hold but, like thousands of other musicians around the world, I started to write and record some new bits and pieces and some things I'd been meaning to set down for years.

Mainly recorded late at night after the kids' bedtime or hiding out in the van at night, they're smaller, less finished, maybe less thought through than a 'real' record should be. However, I decided there was very little point in them sitting on my laptop gathering digital dust when a few people might enjoy listening to them.

So here they are, released one a week to fit in with the punishing homeschool and child care schedule that mix-master Ed and I have at the moment. It's not rock n roll but I like it.

Thank you to everyone who bought this release in its first 6 weeks when all money raised was donated to FARE SHARE - the UK’s national network of charitable food re-distributors. We raised enough for 3000 meals to be distributed.

Singer with Hope & Social. One time singer with Four Day Hombre. Messing around on my own for a bit.
