18 long years in the making ...
"The studio album starts on the evening of Friday 6th November 1992 in the hallway of a flat in Glasgows Bellshaugh Gardens. Gerry McNamara of Galston, David Hopes of Kilmarnock and myself were writing poetry and drinking home made beer, and I wrote the tune 'Between the Sunset and the Sea' for my late grandfather Charles Grant.
I was annoyed that I had allowed a family member to pass away without ever thanking them for all they had done and I made a decision that night to spend the rest of my life writing music for every person that has had a positive effect on my life.
Eighteen years come and gone since that evening and many pieces of music have been written. This first album is merely a small selection of the ever growing collection and I hope that the music goes in some way to thanking everyone."
John Grant
