It was a great honour to be nominated in the best newcomer category at this year's Prog awards and an even greater surprise to win! It was a memorable evening for so many reasons, including getting to chat with the legendary Andy Summers about how we'd both recorded using the same vintage Neve mic pres in Hugh Padgham's studio, being seated at a table of the veritable great and the good of the Prog world, and comparing preferred pianos with Iamthemorning. I'm so grateful to everyone who voted for me and huge thanks again to the magazine for their support of the album. X
