I'm so excited to be working on my second album!
It was an amazing experience to release my debut album, The Spaces In Between, in September last year and it wouldn't have been possible without the generous donations that were raised through my successful Crowdfunder campaign.
I'm very fortunate that my second album will be predominantly funded by the Arts Council England which will cover the costs of production, mixing and mastering. However, I still need to raise funds for various costs that aren't included in the grant such as the production of CDs, artists fees for both recording time & rehearsal/performance and launch event costs such as hiring a sound engineer and PR for the event.
Also, as with most songwriters, I'm really keen to be able to go further with this album by including larger groups of instrumentalists. There are several songs that would sound incredible with strings... possibly a string quartet if I can manage it!
So, this Crowdfunder has a very specific aim and will include some lovely rewards for any donations that folks are able to give. It's also a really great way to pre-order your CD or digital album if you choose these as a reward so do have a look and see if there's anything that takes your fancy!
