about

Influences: Mick Harvey, Rowland S. Howard, Raphael, and all other good things.
"This tune was inspired by Mum in 2015."
It took well over seven months to finish and was completed in Feb 2016 whilst soul searching lyrics to be sung, recorded and flung.
"I was able to spend with Mum six of her last good months x."
It also coincided with the deaths of Stevie Wright, Lemmy and Bowie.
Gadir is the ancient sunken city beneath Cadiz, Spain.
The lost cities of Atlantis surround the area. Time stands still and the Sun shines forever. It's night at 11pm. Lots of life.
The Sun of Ancient Gadir was not only an experience of a lifetime but more an expression or recollection of a truly amazing 16 month journey within Andalucia / Cadiz.

lyrics

(lyrics)
Flying on the other side of the world
Riding on cobbled streets within an ancient ruin
Speaking local customary speech
The Sun of Ancient Gadir
Splashing in the Bay of the Atlantis
The salty air of fresh fish
Mixing Flamenco smells it sounds
Wine red river blessed smell of warmth
Flowing through the streets of Carnaval
Have you ever wondered what it's like to float in time and space?
Have you ever wondered what it's like to float in time and space?
Flying on the other side of the world
Riding on cobbled streets
The Sun of Ancient Gadir
Have I ever told you?
Have you ever wondered?
