Absolute joy of a track. Beautiful mix of voices, piano, strings... Gentle genius of a track for a great cause which is close to my heart. Congratulations Mike and to all involved. X

about
Released May 28, 2021
Penned by Mike Hanrahan (Stockton’s Wing), ‘A River Rolls On’ is inspired by watching his beloved mother’s slide through the phases of vascular dementia and imagining her life as a beautiful meandering river starting high in the mountains, nourishing many, giving so much to the world as it gently rolls to the sea.

A wonderful album. I hear hints of Jeff Buckley, The Beatles and Rufus Wainright in his songwriting. Not just cleverly written songs, but with feeling. And the strings are stunning too. jane willow
