"A Troubadour Journey : Lindisfarne to Durham" - RELEASED

Based on my musical pilgrimage along St oswald's way and The way of light - my new solo album is now on general release.

"A Troubadour Journey" based on my experiences walking St Oswald's Way & The Way of Light from Holy Island to Durham Cathedral in June (2025) - is now on general release ! To get to this point has been (literally) an incredible journey and I've been bowled over by the generosity and encouragement of friends and supporters who have swung in in so many different ways to make the all the elements of this epic project come to life. The songs - written over the course of Autumn/Winter 2025 on location in the Cheviot Hills and on Lindisfarne itself now begin their own journey out into the world. 

I hope you enjoy the music that brings stories from the journey to life in song. From leaving Holy Island to walk across the sands on the Pilgrims Way, tributes to the spell-binding nature of the Northumbrian Coast, following the wind over the Simonside Hills right the way through to approaching Durham as a weary pilgrim at the end of the road. 

I'm thrilled to be offering a physical album copy as part of the release. It's the perfect 'Listening Companion' - a 6 panel cover, 32 page booklet combination that also includes a CD. The package features the stunning artwork of wonderfully talented Northumbrian based artist Rebecca Vincent , photographs I took on the journey together with lyrics and notes and song introductions all held together by the amazing design work of Tim Roberts. You can be part of the journey by downloading the music and ordering the album at my music page via the button below. Thanks for your support - it helps me to continue to make music for you to enjoy and share.

Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2  

"Wonderful acoustic guitar throughout, and lyrically impressive, it is a journey well worth taking.” 
Americana UK on “A Troubadour Journey”

“There is a long tradition of pilgrimage and of song in the North East. A Troubadour Journey suggests that the two still have much to say to one another.” 
The Northumbrian Magazine

“..one of the UK’s best-kept musical secrets…powerful songs and affecting performances” 
Properganda

“Rich and soulful vocals, a fine ear for melody & masterful acoustic guitar playing” 
Rockn’Reel Magazine

“Some artists often sing in the name of one cause or another without conviction, but that is not the case here. The legacy of well-written, descriptive music laid down by Woody Guthrie, still lives on here in the UK” 
Maverick Magazine (5 Stars)

“..intelligent songs which make a point gently and invoke sympathy……..someone to be taken seriously”
