The video was shot in March last year, in the middle of Storm Emma, bringing with it the worst snow in almost 40 years. They were stranded in the house, which with its single-glazed windows and open fires for its only heating, was clearly very cold, and each would take a turn at going outside to gather branches to keep the fire burning. All this worked together to produce a superbly stripped back clip, focusing only on Jamie &#8211; and the one obvious concession to modernity &#8211; his electric guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"589\" data-attachment-id=\"47421\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/02\/jamie-harrison-spent-so-long-cracks-1-million-spotify-streams\/49346228_1656316297803724_1753383204175216640_o\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/49346228_1656316297803724_1753383204175216640_o.jpg?fit=1080%2C994&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,994\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"49346228_1656316297803724_1753383204175216640_o\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/49346228_1656316297803724_1753383204175216640_o.jpg?fit=640%2C589&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/49346228_1656316297803724_1753383204175216640_o.jpg?resize=640%2C589&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"49346228_1656316297803724_1753383204175216640_o\" class=\"wp-image-47421\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jamie played two sold out headline shows last year, in Whelan&#8217;s, Dublin, and at Roisin Dubh in his hometown of Galway, and went on to collaborate with UK producer, Ken Nelson (best known for his work with Coldplay, Snow Patrol, and Paolo Nutini), to record several tracks for his upcoming EP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jamie is an accomplished performer, and has played all over the world, including London, Dublin, Melbourne, Cologne, Glasgow, Wellington, Liverpool and Birmingham.
