Paul Mason launched his debut album after inspirational encounters with the likes of Findlay Napier and Hewerdine. What has followed is a celebration of the natural world that surrounds him in his Comrie (Perthshire) home, inviting the listener to reflect on their relationship with our surroundings. He has even managed to engage a couple of FNW favourites in Susy Wall Music and Catlow to add to our musical enjoyment - all of which left our reviewer rather impressed!!
