Andy Flannagan’s long-awaited new album “Drowning in the Shallow” is out now.
The album was launched at a gig at The Bedford in Balham, in London, on Sunday.
Flannagan draws on his political work in Westminster and experience with many NGOs, such as Tearfund and Open Doors, to offer up music that challenges the listener to be part of the process of restoring broken humanity.
Having secured mainstream distribution, Andy is hoping to provoke a new set of listeners to move beyond their comfort zones.
The album features Andy’s trademark organic sound and finely-crafted poetic lyrics, lifted to another level by Grammy-award winning producer Alan Branch (Jeff Beck, Cat Stevens, Sinead O’Connor).
There’s a feast of musicality with virtuoso performances from Dave Cooke (guitars, keys, ukulele), Matt Hay (mandolin, oud, violin), Yves Fernandez (bass) and Lucy Payne (cello).
In an age where music has often been reduced to entertainment, Andy is convinced it can be much more.
He says, “The lobbying of the 21st century will be the lobbying of the heart as much as lobbying of the mind. As the old proverb goes, ‘Music can say a thousand things that words cannot’.”
