by Jim Moray

supported by

renteddrumkit Good example of why I like your music. Never frightened to adapt a traditional piece and to breathe new life into it, without taking away from the essence of the original. Inventive to the point of sheer brilliance! Long may it continue! Favorite track: Lemady.

about

I’m incredibly excited to present my new album Beflean : An Alternative History 2002-2023. I wanted to mark the last twenty-one years of recording with some acoustic versions of songs from across the albums from that time period, and there was only one place to go to make this album truly special – Abbey Road.

The guitar and vocal tracks were recorded in the legendary surroundings of Abbey Road Studios, through the same microphones used by everyone from Kate Bush to Radiohead. The result is a sound that's rich, authentic, and filled with the warmth that only a place like Abbey Road can provide.

But that was just the beginning. I decided to take these base tracks and invite some of my favourite musicians to add their contributions to these new versions of songs I’ve lived with for my whole adult life. Some of the songs are well-worn favourites, some are deeper cuts that maybe haven’t been played as much outside of the original albums, and a few are tracks that I’ve performed live but not committed to record until now.
