Bush Hall has played host to everyone from The Killers to The Sex Pistols, what did it mean to you to play such an iconic venue ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having spent the past seven years living in Shepherds Bush, with Bush Hall literally around the corner, it was a really special thing to release the album there.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It must have been hugely gratifying to sing the album in its entirety and in the track order of the record. It made me very nostalgic about what makes vinyl special, that journey from beginning to end. How did you pick the order of the tracks ? Is the storyline of an album important to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We definitely gave it a lot of thought. It was important to us to have songs like &#8216;This Is The Place&#8217; and &#8216;Things&#8217; on Side 1 although some of the tracks took their places quite organically. For example, because of the way we recorded &#8216;Days Like This&#8217;, around some room mics late one evening, it felt like a fitting way to end the record.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Last night was not only testament to what an exciting songwriter and artist you are, it was testament to the power of a tight band. You must have loved the opportunity to show that teamwork makes the dream work? Brian, Tom, Toby, Blaine and Soren were incredible last night!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I said it on stage, but if there\u2019s anything I\u2019m proud of in music, it\u2019s the people I have around me. To play that show as a six was really special and I feel we did the album justice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Back in March 2023, I came to see you play at Omeara. I had booked the gig because I wanted to see another of my favourite artists, Marie Naffah who was supporting you. Sadly Marie was ill and couldn\u2019t play but I came along and discovered your wonderful music. Last night I chatted to Marie who had come along to the gig and we discussed the fateful full circle of then to now. It must be lovely to look out into the audience and see so much support?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember looking out during &#8216;Say Something Mean&#8217; and everyone in the room was just smiling and singing. I\u2019m very grateful for the support I\u2019ve received over the years and it felt like there was a lot of love in the room last night.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You closed last night\u2019s set with a beautiful track that you introduced as the first song from album three. Are you already working on new material or is it an ongoing process?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the focus being on releasing this album, last year was actually the first year since I started playing music that I didn\u2019t write a song so I\u2019m looking forward to writing and just playing guitar again and seeing what I\u2019m drawn to creatively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Back in October 2023, you curated \u2018Songs Through The Darkness\u2019 at Lafayette in aid of Music Minds Matter, a charity which looks after the mental well-being of anyone in the music industry. It was an incredible evening and you were joined by Elles Bailey and Jamie Lawson. How nice is it to see Elles breaking through onto the BBC Radio 2 playlist and into the charts with her single \u2018Growing Roots\u2019 and see her new album\u2019 Can\u2019t Take My Story Away\u2019 doing so well?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elles is the hardest working artist I know. She\u2019s also been a massive champion of mine and I\u2019m very grateful for all her support. Blaine and I co-wrote one of the songs on her new album too so it\u2019s been extra special to see her do so well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At that event you were joined on stage by Blaine Harrison, known as the lead vocalist and songwriter of indie rock bank Mystery Jets. How important has it been to have Blaine on board for this second album. He seems to be a very important part of the team now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m incredibly indebted to Blaine. This album would not exist without him and making it together has been one of the great joys of my life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finally, what are your touring plans for this year? Having played Glastonbury last year could we hope to see you play any festivals this year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m supporting Dylan LeBlanc this week on his UK tour and then Brian and I head to Switzerland towards the end of February for some shows out there. Beyond that, time will tell.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more about Henry Grace and his music online on his official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.henrygracemusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in March 2023, something happened that changed my life for the better. I booked tickets for a gig at O Meara in London to see an artist I hugely admire, Marie Naffah, who was supporting an artist I\u2019d never listened to, called Henry Grace. Sadly, Marie had to pull out of the gig because of ill health but I went along anyway and to this day it\u2019s one of the best decisions I\u2019ve made. <\/p>\n<div
